[Verse 1]
God, I wish you were here
It's getting late
On the interstate
Watching mountains fade in the mirror
It's starting to hit me now
And it's startling
My car gave me trouble starting up today
Might've been a sign I was supposed to stay
But baby, either way
[Chorus]
I wish you were here
With the windows down singing 80s songs 'til your lungs burn out
Sittin' shotgun
I would light one
And I'd let you steer
I wish you were here
'Cause the distance hurts but you're in my head with the perfect words
Like a postcard
And it's so hard
Being so far, dear
I wish you were here
[Verse 2]
I been ready to go
Then the moment came and it felt so strange
What if I can't do this alone?
And it's starting to hit me now
Your face is my wallpaper
Say you'll call me later
Truth hurts with no chaser
I'm swallowin' the pain
[Chorus]
I wish you were here
With the windows down singing 80s songs 'til your lungs burn out
Sittin' shotgun
I would light one
And I'd let you steer
I wish you were here
'Cause the distance hurts but you're in my head with the perfect words
Like a postcard
And it's so hard
Being so far, dear
I wish you were here
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh
I don't know what happens next
But I'm hoping for the best
With the windows down singing 80s songs 'til your lungs burn out
Sittin' shotgun
I would light one
And I'd let you steer
[Chorus]
I wish you were here
'Cause the distance hurts but you're in my head with the perfect words
Like a postcard
And it's so hard
Being so far, dear
I wish you were here
