[T I M E S W H E R E I W I S H]

How long has it been?
I know the numbers- but I don’t know the time
And it’s so cold, but isn’t it summer?
When I saw you yesterday, why was it so long ago?

It feels like an eternity
When just an hour ago I realized
That time started passing at half its speed
When I learned to ignore the clock again

I hear this sound- and it feels like it was a decade ago
It must’ve been, right?
14 days, a decade- it’s all the same
But then half a year feels like… like what?

When I listen to this- it makes me remember and forget
Someone from another time
I see myself from so long ago, a different person
I don’t think I remember myself

So then- why does this melody make me feel this way?
Why did I miss so much when these are from my own memory?
How can they make me feel this way when nothing’s changed?
That’s ridiculous- everything’s different, I just don’t seem to realize

I think now is the moment where I feel the change
Where I wish I’d hear them laugh
Where I wish I’d be on a bench in the forest
Where I wish I’d be on a boat
Where I wish I’d feel the rain
Where I wish I’d get to eat that food again
Where I wish I’d get to sing with them
Where I wish I’d drive home in a van at 3 AM
Where I wish I’d hear lots of typing and clicking
Where I wish I’d felt it more
Where I wish I’d talked to you more
Where I wish I’d told you about this sound
Where I wish I’d told you about this goddamn song
Where I wish I’d realized how much it meant but now you’re gone and what do i do now?

Only now I’ve come to realize that I miss the things I missed
I have all rights to do so

And when we talked on that saturday evening, it was all alright.
And when we hugged on that saturday evening, it was all okay.
And when we hugged on that sunday morning, it was all alright.
And when we said goodbye on that sunday morning, it was all okay.
And when I woke up on that monday morning, it was all alright.
And when I knew I’d talked to you for the last time, it was all okay.
But when I heard that song again on that sunday night at 2 am, I wish I’d told you

I wish you were here
oh how i wish you were here
