I wish that you could laugh
Into the telegraph
I want to say it again
Into the windowpane
I want to fill the space
Across the ocean's face
I want to say it clear
Oh, I need you to be here

I'd like to tell you this
But you're so far away
I'd like to reminisce
But you're so far away
So far away
So far away

I wish that you could see
Some good inside of me
I want to say it loud
In case I left it out
I want to close my eyes
And feel the ocean rise
I want to say it today
Before I fade away

I'd like to tell you this
But you're so far away
I'd like to reminisce
But you're so far away
So far away
So far away
