I wish you were
I wish you were

I wish you were
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

The lyrics to Cody Simpson's "Wish U Were Here" is a story about the longing for a loved one and the realization that the presence of that person makes everything brighter and better. The first verse describes the singer's feeling of not knowing the purpose of his emotions, but he acknowledges that it is intense and connected to a person he left behind. He yearns to be back home with this person, and the chorus repeats his desire for their presence because the music and lights are better when they are near.
In the second verse, the singer juxtaposes the bustling city he's currently in with his desire for the presence of his loved one. The bright lights of the different city are impressive, but they can't compare to the softer and brighter light that the person he misses brings into his life. The lyrics in the bridge are spoken from the perspective of the singer's loved one, reassuring him that they can make their relationship work and urging him to hurry back to her, which he agrees.
The song's lyrics are precise and don't shy from expressing the pure emotion of longing and desire for someone. It's easy to empathize and relate to the lyrics, even if you have never been in a long-distance relationship. The song encourages the idea of being present in the moment and cherishing the moments when you have your loved ones nearby. It is a beautiful song that captures a universal theme of longing for someone you love.

Lately I got this feeling
Recently, I've been experiencing an emotion
I don't know what's the meaning
I'm unsure of what this emotion means
But I know it's strong
However, I recognize that this emotion is intense
And it's over you
And it's related to you
All I want is to be home with you
My deepest desire is to be with you at home
Oh ooh oh
I'm coming right back
I'm going to return soon
Livin' without you is a
Living without you is a
No no
No, I can't do it
I wish you were here
I desire for you to be present here
Yeah, I wish you were here
Yes, I deeply wish that you were here
Music is better
Music becomes better
And lights are brighter when you are near
And everything is more vibrant when you're around
Am I making it clear?
Do you understand what I'm saying?
The music is better
The music improves
And right now I just wish you were here
And at this moment, my only wish is for you to be present
At night
At nighttime
A different city
In a different city
Brighter lights, should be pretty
Brighter lights, which should be attractive
But they can't compare, no
But they can't match up to
To the light from you
The presence of you
Can't wait 'til you come back home
I am eager for you to return home
I know it's late, hold you above the phone
I understand that it's late, but I want to talk to you so much that it's like I'm holding you above the phone
It so hard gettin' by all alone
It's very difficult to cope by myself
So call me back, leave a message at the tone
Please call me back and leave a message if I don't answer
I know, you know, I know we can make it by
I know that we both know that we can overcome this separation
It's been too long since I've looked into you eyes
It's been too much time since I've gazed into your eyes
And I'm waitin', so hurry back
And I'm waiting for you, so please return quickly
Bring the shine boy
Bring your best self
You better follow the path
You had better follow your intended direction
Car, bus, train, go and get a cab
Use any form of transportation to get here quickly
Or just fly here- Jet pack
or use a Jet Pack to fly directly here
Roger that, do you copy?
Understood, are you receiving my message?
I was a puzzle piece but you solved me
I used to be incomplete, but you completed me
Our future, I see is so clear
Our future is evident and evident
And right now
And at this moment
Oh ooh oh
Right now I just wish you were here
At this moment, my only desire is for you to be present
Oh ooh oh
Right now I just wish you were here
At this moment, my only desire is for you to be present
Oh ooh oh
Right now I just wish you were here
At this moment, my only desire is for you to be present
Oh ooh oh
Right now I just wish you were here
At this moment, my only desire is for you to be present
