[Verse 1]
I was chilling at the back of the bar somehow you were standing alone
Later when the lights went up, we had a talk while walking you home
Tall heels and a short black dress so I told you to wear my coat
Eight months but we left that town, drove off to a different coast
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't see through the pain when I'm thinking about you, about you, yeah
I've tried but I can't get you out of my head
I tell myself that we were right to say it's for the better
I could picture tomorrow being the best
But not without you
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, I wish you were here
Ooh, ooh, I wish you were here
Ooh, ooh, it doesn't seem real
Ooh, ooh, I wish you were here
[Verse 2]
I try to give myself all the words that I always say to my friends
Know I've been kind of a problem but it's still fresh in my defense
Don't know why I go out 'til five when I know I should get rest
Only been 72 days, but I'm lost since the night you left
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't see through the pain when I'm thinking about you, about you, yeah
I've tried but I can't get you out of my head
I tell myself that we were right to say it's for the better
I could picture tomorrow being the best
But not without you
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, I wish you were here
Ooh, ooh, I wish you were here
Ooh, ooh, it doesn't seem real
Ooh, ooh, I wish you were here
[Post-Chorus]
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't see through the pain when I'm thinking about you, about you, yeah
I've tried but I can't get you out of my head
I tell myself that we were right to say it's for the better
I could picture tomorrow being the best
But not without you
[Chorus]
Ooh, ooh, I wish you were here
Ooh, ooh, I wish you were here
Ooh, ooh, it doesn't seem real
Ooh, ooh, I wish you were here
[Post-Chorus]
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
Oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh, oo-oo-ooh
