“Wish You Well” is a “goodbye song” and, like many of Herzig’s songs, it was featured in an episode of Grey’s Anatomy, this time in multiple scenes of the episode “Tainted Obligation”.
I, I want to wish you well
I didn't watch you go
Cause I suppose I don't know how
I, I will remember you
Not the way you left but how you lived
And what you knew
I, I want to feel your hands
I want to feel your fire burning
Right from where I stand
I'll find my way
Cause you showed me how
I, I want to know it's you
When I hear your voice inside my head
Inside my room
I, want to touch the sky
I want to see the stars twinkle
Like they were your eyes
I'll find my way
You showed me
I'll find my way
Cause you showed me how
I, I want to smell your scent
I want to breathe the air I did before
Before you left
I, I want to wish you well
The only reason my heart beats
Is cause you showed it how
I'll find my way
You show me
I'll find my way
You show me
I'll find my way
Cause you showed me how
You show me how
You showed me how
Wish You Well was written by Katie Herzig.
In an interview with American Songwriter Herzig said of the song:
It’s a goodbye song, it’s helped a lot of people say goodbye to people they’ve lost.
