Take it slow, tell me all how you've grown, just for me, could we all reminisce?
Better yet, here's a pen, make a list, fill it's full of all the things I've missed
Cause I could barely drive past the school, without stopping to think of you
And how we used to act the fool
But worst of all I wish I'd called at least a thousand times or more
Just to hear, what I've been missing
If a picture is all that I have
I can picture the times that we won't get back
If I picture it now it don't seem so bad
Either way, I still wish you were here
Don't say everything's meant to be
Cause you know it's not what I believe
Can't help but think that it should've been me
Either way I still wish you were here
Thinking back on the days when we all used to say
"I know anywhere's better than here"
In the back of the class, where we grew up too fast
Living life like there's nothing to fear
But the ice on the road, driving home all alone
Singing along to a song from three summers ago
The one that made you remember it
Now I'll always remember it
As the song that your life ended with
If a picture is all that I have
I can picture the times that we won't get back
If I picture it now it don't seem so bad
Either way, I still wish you were here
Don't say everything's meant to be
Cause you know it's not what I believe
Can't help but think that it should've been me
Either way I still wish you were here
And they say you're in a better place, but a better place is right here with me
Yeah, they say you're in a better place, too bad it's not what I believe
Cause a picture is all that I have
To remind me that you're never coming back
If I picture it now it just makes me sad
And right now I just wish you were here
Don't say everything's meant to be
Cause you know it's not what I believe
Can't help but think that it should've been me
In the end, I just wish you were here
Yeah, they say you're in a better place
Either way I still wish you were here
Cause they say you're in a better place
In the end, I just wish you were here
