It was raining I took the Metro to the beach The sun was staying out of reach I was playing A game you used to play with me To fill up where you used to be Now don't you wish you were here? Now the sand's filled up your footprint And I wonder where the time went When you looked back over your shoulder I was feeling so much older Now don't you wish you were here? Just an outline Of things that never had a prayer Your perfume lingers in the air But there's some things that you'll never dare Now don't you wish you were here? Will you write? did I miss your call? You were right even after all But don't you ever wish those days weren't so far away?
