Lyrics: Brian Yorkey/Tom Kitt
Music: Tom Kitt
In an instant lightning flashes
And the burst might leave me blind
When the bolt of lightning crashes
And it burns right through my mind
It's like someone drained my brain out
Set my frozen mind to thaw
Let the lethargy and pain out
While I stood and watched in awe
I am riding on the brightest buzz
I am worlds away from who I was
And they told me it would change me
Though they don't know how it does
Though they don't know how it does
I have lived a life of clouds and grey
But this is crystal clear
Wish I were here
Wish I were here
I imagine it's remarkable
Exuberant austere
Wish I were here wish I were here
Wish I were here wish I were here
It's euphoria it's anger
It's the winter wind it's fire
It's the winter wind it's fire
And it kills my deepest hunger
As it fills me with desire
I'm the light and heat of every sun
I'm a bullet from a magic gun
And I'm trying to enjoy it
But I'm missing all the fun I am missing all the fun
Am I feeling what I think I'm feeling
The hope the heat and fear
Wish I were here wish I were here
Is this someone else's head trip
Do I just disappear
Wish I were here wish I were here
Wish I were here wish I were here
Plug me in
And turn me on
And flip the switch
I'm good as gone
It slips my skin
And trips my brain
I feel the burn
But I don't feel the pain
Is my brain reborn
Or is it wrecked
In freedom or in fear
Wish I were here wish I were
Have I blown my mind forever
Is cloudy my new clear
Wish I were here wish I
Wish I were here
Wish I were
Can I hide my stupid hunger
Fake some confidence and cheer
Wish I were here
Wish I were here
