Wish I Could Be There

[Verse 1]
Your coat still hangs by the door
Dust on the sleeve you wore
I touch the seam like a prayer
Still reaching for you there

The kettle sleeps on the stove
Your mug has a hairline hold
I keep your keys in a bowl
Like they might lead you home

[Pre-Chorus]
And I talk to the room
Like you’ll answer back
Every little sound
Pulls me off the track

[Chorus]
Wish I could be there
Where you are now
Wish I could be there
To hold your hand somehow
If love could cross that line
I’d run to you tonight
Wish I could be there
Wish I could be there

[Verse 2]
Now the house knows your name
In the frame, in the fade
Every picture still leans
Like it’s waiting for a change

I walk past your chair
Half expecting you there
Then the air cuts through me clean
And I’m left with what we need

[Pre-Chorus]
And I hear you in time
In the old front steps
In the creak of the floor
In the things you left

[Chorus]
Wish I could be there
Where you are now
Wish I could be there
To hold your hand somehow
If love could cross that line
I’d run to you tonight
Wish I could be there
Wish I could be there

[Bridge]
If I close my eyes
I can almost see
Your face in the rain
Your laugh in the trees

But the morning comes
And it breaks my arms
Leaves me with a name
And a heart full of stars

[Final Chorus]
Wish I could be there
Where you are now
Wish I could be there
To hold your hand somehow
If love could cross that line
I’d run to you tonight
Wish I could be there
Wish I could be there

Wish I could be there
Wish I could be there
