Wish You Were Here

I threw a few things in my old suitcase

And stood for an hour in the security line

Grabbed a postcard and a coca-cola

And then sat and waited to pre-board the flight

I wish you were here, I scratched on the postcard

To switch my seat from center to the aisle

To chat about nothing and fine art

Instead, I guess I’ll nap for awhile

I opened my eyes, did I shut off the lights

I knew I should’ve checked it once more

I called the post office to vacation the mail

But did I remember to lock the front door?

I headed out into the sunshine

But the weather forecast says there'll be storms

I asked to get some on board headphones to buy

When out of nowhere I remembered that store

Where we bought that dalmatian umbrella

After it started to pour

That weekend we spent at Coachella

When Bad bunny slipped and fell on the floor

The air was like wildflowers in bloom

I wish you were here, I whispered again

I can't believe that it's nearly June

As I fiddle with the clicker on my pen

Just last week it seems, it was still snowing

and you were here, with that smile on your face

The flight attendant seems easy going

She seems to know that I feel out of place

I wish you were here, babe, there is so much to remember

As my eyes begin to well up with tears

You've been gone three years now, this September

And the world has changed, without you here

I go through the motions of living

Though the joy seems to have wilted away

Memories can be unforgiving

And I wish you were here, more everyday
