i wish i were there

i'm staring on at your picture, how the wind picks up your hair, behind you a palm and the ocean, how i wish i had been there, yeah, too often we're not together, yeah, too often i'm far away, know that i always care, i wish i were, i wish i were there, no longer away, no dead air, i wish i were, i wish i were there, i'm listening to all of your stories, what you've done and what you've seen, your face so small on my iphone, and i'm touching you on screen, yeah, too often we're not together, yeah, too often i'm far away, know that i always care, i wish i were, i wish i were there, no longer away, no dead air, i wish i were, i wish i were there, i never had a doubt i would achieve it, i never allowed myself to fail, but then when i was there, i wished i were where you were, i wish i had been there, i think i got the moral of the story, for every wish granted there's a snag, the genie in the bottle never tells to take care, i wish i had been there, wish i had been there, know that i always care, i wish i were, i wish i were there, no longer away, no dead air, i wish i were, i wish i were there, know that i always care, i wish i were, i wish i were there, no longer away, no dead air, i wish i were, i wish i were there, i wish i had been there, i wish i had been there, i wish i had been there, wish i had been there
