Lyrics
[verse]
So did they get you to sell your name for a ticket to the show
Did they trade your fire for a candle's afterglow
Do you feel the distance growing wider every day
Two lost souls swimming in a fog that won't give way
[chorus]
Wish you were here beside me now
Wish we could break this silence somehow
Two empty chairs where friends should be
Wish you were here, wish you were free
[verse]
We're just two lonely echoes bouncing off a wall
Running through the same old maze, hearing the same call
How I wish, how I wish you could see through my eyes
The comfort we were chasing turned into disguise
[chorus]
Wish you were here beside me now
Wish we could break this silence somehow
Two empty chairs where friends should be
Wish you were here, wish you were free
[bridge]
The years keep spinning like a wheel we cannot stop
Chasing shadows on a road that never seems to top
I hold the phone and listen to the static hum
Waiting for the day that you finally come
[chorus]
Wish you were here beside me now
Wish we could break this silence somehow
Two empty chairs where friends should be
Wish you were here, wish you were free
