Wish You Were Here
Offer Nissim Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Memories are coming my way and I freeze
I can not forgeti'm touching your face
I'm smelling your sweet fragrance
Reach out to embrace
But only the face of emptiness

I wish you were here
I wish you were here

Do you ever think of me
Like I have you in every thought
In every wish

I'm wishing you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
There's no place to hide
Now that our love has died

My arms are open wide
In case you wanna stay right by my side
By my side
You don't care
I'm bleeding here
I'm filed with fear
And I swear I ran out of tears
I lay on the floor
I can't stand it anymore
You choose to ignore

I wish you were here like you were before
I wish you were here
I wish you were here

But if you knew how much
I love you how much
I wished you
No you never knew
What I did for you how much
I wished for you
Wished you were here

I wish you were here
I wish you were here

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Offer Nissim's song "Wish You Were Here" is a heart-wrenching tribute to love lost. The singer reminisces about his former lover and the memories that continue to haunt him. Even though he cannot forget his past love, he faces the emptiness that echoes in his arms as he reaches out for her. He longs for her presence, the touch of her face, and the scent of her fragrance.

As he continues to speak, he acknowledges that their love has ended, and there is no other place to hide. Although he is bleeding, he still has his arms open wide for his lover's return. He pleads with her to stay by his side, but she does not seem to care. He feels so lost and helpless that he cannot stand up anymore. He wishes she was still here, like she was before, and he could not help but wonder if she ever thinks of him the way that he thinks of her.

The song speaks to the universal theme of missing someone and struggling with the end of a love story. The chorus is a repetition of how much he wishes she were there. The pain in the singer's voice perfectly complements the heartfelt lyrics and captures the feeling of longing for a lost love.
