I tried to eat some lasagna today It didn't taste how it did when I made it Come to think of it that was Tuesday Maybe I shouldn't have saved it The microwave gives it a radioactive crisp Which is not what you're after I still have half a pan left Wish you were here Went to a restaurant and saw these two They had a table near the band And when the band played a slow one He reached over to touch her hand Well I think they saw me staring So I went to pay the bill And somehow it made me Wish you were here It's not like I can't stand on my own It's not like I don't have friends who will call on the phone And boys who will take me out That's not what this is about 'Cause I've never missed you before But lately sometimes I do And I don't know where you are Or if there's even such a thing as you All I know is today hasn't been any different From any other day of any year And maybe that's what's wrong Wish you were here You've been gone too long Wish you were here Wish you were here
