Avril Lavigne – Wish You Were Here lyrics
I can be tough, I can be strong
But with you, it's not like that at all
There's a girl that gives a shit
Behind this wall you just walk through it

And I remember

All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
Right now I wish you were here

All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

(Chorus)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
(I wish you were here)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
(I wish you were here)

I love, the way you are
It's who I am, don't have to try hard
We always say, say it like it is
And the truth, is that I really miss

All those crazy things you said
You left them running through my head
You're always there, you're everywhere
Right now I wish you were here

All those crazy things we did
Didn't think about it, just went with it
You're always there, you're everywhere
But right now I wish you were here

(Chorus)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
(I wish you were here)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
(I wish you were here)

No, I don't wanna let go
I just wanna let you know
That I, never wanna let go
Let go oh oh (x2)

(Chorus)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you here, here, here
(I wish you were here)
Damn! Damn! Damn!
What I'd do to have you near, near, near
(I wish you were here)

    It's a wonderful song, it reminds me of my old boyfriend. I will always remember him even if he ditched me infront of the entire school. I sang this song on assembly, he cried. And asked me out, for a second chance. I said no. He cried more and said "i love you", then I cried and said, "we could still be friends. " but he didn't accept that and cut himself. I felt guilty about it. He's now in the hospital, he tried eating this pill once to die. : '(

    The meaning of this song is mainly about the person you loved that you can't be with. It's either that person walked away of already gone. I really appreciate this song because every word fits in what in feeling right now. I just lost my close sister last christmas and just by thinking the fact that.
    I cannot see her anymore. It really makes me cry. I wish she's still here with our family. :( I always remember all those crazy things she said and all the things that we did, we didn't think about it and just went with it. I really miss her and I am still missing her. Even though I tried so hard but I really don't wanna let go. I really miss my ate jhen! :((kung nasan ka man ngayong ate. "i wish you were here" - dave.

    It matches what I feel right now. I really wish to have him here with me, I miss him so bad that I'd do anything I can to have him with me now. I wanna spend the new year with him. Theres a feeling inside me, like a great urge that makes me want him to be with me, but alas, I'm no superhuman to make him be with me now =(.

    This song means regretting the fact that you set the one that you loved and love the most, free.
    You let him/her get away, without having a second thought, and now, you've just realized what you have done and that it's practically too late to do anything now.
    And now, you miss him/her badly that it drives you mad and you probably think that you're an idiot for not stopping them.
    You'll start reflecting and remembering the things that you have done with him/her. It will continue to haunt you until you get over them.
    And for the part where it says "i won't let go", it doesn't mean the exact thing the line said. It means that he/she will always remain in your heart, no matter how long the time has past.
    That's the meaning of the song for me. It's good to have you back, avril. I love your songs and I love you. This new album of yours will sure inspire lots and lots of people. :)

    Uhm. Man! This song makes me feel like a woman, makes me all emotional and stuff, makes me want to run in the middle of the night and go find her, lol, makes me wanna cry, makes me laugh, makes me reminisce about the bad, good and the great times. I remember this one time mistakening her with some other person, man I was so friking happy, only to find out it wasn't her. Only then it hit that I miss her so bad. Okay enough sobbing now, its a really beautiful song, anyone can relate to it, it makes you realise how much you miss a particular person and you just weren't aware of it. Like it a lot 5 stars 4 it.

    I can definitely say that this song is really meaningful to me just like what my boyfriend did to me he just saying that he was always right there for me, he love me and he just let me fall in love to his words. I wish he could realize how much I miss all those crazy things we did. And how much I long for him. Coz I love him!

    I can definitely say that this song is really meaningful to me just like what my boyfriend did to me he just saying that he was always right there for me, he love me, he just let me fall in love to his words he's acting hurts when we fight, I can't imagine what the things that I sacrifice just to let him know how much I love him. But at in the end I just realized that he just a liar. But right now I wish that I can find a right person who really love me, and never hurt my fellings. Tnx I love you avril.

    I wish you were here with me my love. I know I can have you with me anytime I need. But this is a time I can't say that baby come to me soon. Because I know that you love the place where you are and you have wanted to be there since long. I just have to stop myself from calling you to me. Damn. I have to fight myself. I can just sit and remember all the funny talks and stuff we did like two crazy kids. I miss you baby. I wish you were here. Damn. What would do to have you here while I can't call you. I just wish to have you near me.
    I love you. Come soon. Waiting for you.
    Are.

    I think that this song was for her special person that died. When she says he's everywhere, she means that she can feel him, and she wants him back. She's crying because she wants him back, but knows she will never get him back. Now she's looking back and realizing what she has really lost. She's a lot like me, but I'm a little toned down. I love this song.

    I just love the melody of the song! Go ms. A. L! I love since then. I love her uniqueness and the way she sung a song. I love the beat of the drums! I always close my eyes everytime I listen unto it. The song was all about a person who misses her lover. And it's damn pretty when you missed sum1 but hus not there. Damn, damn, damn what I'd do to have you here! I♥ you avril! You are my skater girl!

    Wish you were here. That's what everyone who are bein left by their love ones wants. Because whatever they do to forget everything they had in their relationship when where they are, instead, its coming all back in her memory. In my case, I still wish I am with him but situation make us apart that's why whenever we want to be together but its not that easy to be, to do. But somehow, I still want him to know that I can't get him off of my mind, of course especially in my life. I just hope that he's fine now with his life. Merry christmas leoj airstone. You still make my life worthliving- I'm willing to risk it all. And to wait even how long am I gonna take to wait you. Just for you!

    Wish you were here for me tells about a girl who misses a guy, she always remembers those moments when they're together, I'm so much related with this song for the content of the song is really the same like what I wanna tell to that guy whom I loved before, for what I feel. That's all thank you, and as of now, this song is my top favorite for this year.

    Omg! Like it so much! I can relate to it. He told me he'll be always there for me but suddenly, he left me alone coz he found a girl whom he thinks that she is better than me. Ha! And what now? Well, the girl doesn't love him. I wish he could realize how much I miss all those crazy things we did. And how much I long for him. Coz I love him!
