Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I WISH THAT YOU WERE WITH ME NOW
IT'S HARD TO GO ON
KNOWIN' THAT YOU'RE FAR AWAY FROM ME BABY
I NEED YOU HERE BY MY SIDE, FEELIN' SO STRONG
I NEVER REALLY KNEW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME

Chorus:
EVERY MINUTE OF EVERY HOUR OF EVERYDAY
THIS IS SOMETHIN' NOT HARD TO SAY
I CAN'T LIVE MY LIFE WITHOUT YOU
EVERY TEARDROP, EVERY PAIN,
EVERY MOMENT IS NOT THE SAME
I CAN'T BE USED TO BEIN' ALONE

I WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE WITH ME NOW
IT'S HARD TO MOVE ON
KNOWIN' THAT YOU'RE FAR AWAY FROM ME BABY
I REALLY NEED YOUR LOVE RIGHT NOW, HELPLESSLY SOMEHOW
MEMORIES OF YOU HAUNTING ME BABY.

I WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE WITH ME NOW
