The fifth song on Artificial Heart describes a meeting with a friend’s wife. The reason for the friend’s absence has never been explicitly explained, but a popular theory is that this song takes place recently after the friend’s funeral.
I had a great time today with your wife
Under an awning
We had to stop there, wait for a while
Because it was raining
And we talked about you
Til the storm had passed through
You should have been there
You should have been there
It rained a long time, the kids didn't mind
Splashed on the sidewalk
And we both agreed that it was too long
Since we had a good talk
Everyone seemed okay
But then she'd never say
You should have been there
You should have been there
Stupid car stuck in the snow
Getting home, too late to go
I'm not saying anything
Just thought you'd want to know
When the rain stopped we checked the sky
Headed for home then
I said I would call, kissed her goodbye
Waved to your children
And the clouds burned away
To a warm sunny day
You should have been there
You should have been there
You should have been there
