Wish You Were Here

I was a shipwreck covered in sand
But you made me happy again
and when I saw your smile
I knew I was in love
We’d spend time hanging out at home
Never wanted to spend our days all alone
and when I’d make you laugh
I knew I was in love
I wish I met you sooner
I wish we had another year
Cause now you’re gone and I miss you so much
I just wish that you were here
Spent all night talking on and on
Fearing someday that you would be gone
But then you held me tight
and I knew I was in love
I wish I met you sooner
I wish we had another year
Cause now you’re gone and I miss you so much
I just wish that you were here

Boardwalk Dairy Queen

Saw you working at the sunglass hut
I think it was a quarter past three
Even though you were wearing shades
I can tell you were looking at me
I remember our first date
Thought my floral shirt was neat
So I wrote you this letter
Inviting you to
Meet me at the Dairy Queen
Off the boardwalk at VA beach
We can watch the people pass us by
I feel so peachy keen
When it's you, my dilly bar, and me
With you there's no clouds in the sky
When I see you there
You blow my mind away
I'm head over heels like a blizzard flipped upside down
And after all these years
Through the bright and grey
You make me feel like
Every day is a sundae
Meet me at the Dairy Queen
Off the boardwalk at VA beach
We can watch the people pass us by
I feel so peachy keen
When it's you, my dilly bar, and me
With you there's no clouds in the sky

Showing up late, hoping I'll see you there
Flowers around my neck, pretending I'm fine
Warm nights feeling cold when you're not around
Wishing this coconut were your hand in mine
I've limboed down to the floor, and lower even more
Bent back so my frown looks like a smile
I'm boogying hard, but my heart's not in the place
You know dancing alone is not my style
This party is dying
There's nothing fun to do
I guess I'll just go home
Can't spell luau without you

My Light, My Flame

I haven’t seen your face in so long
But I remember the look in your eyes
When you said you had no intentions to leave
But yet we had to say our goodbyes
Every day feels the same
Looking across the couch and you’re not there
There’s nothing I can do can bring you back
and I hate that life isn’t fair
You were the light of my life
You were the flame in my heart
You made me want to keep living
But the world just tore us apart
