I Wish I Was Here

Dog's Eye View

I hope you don't listen to me

I don't always say what I'm thinking

Sometimes I'll tell you

What I think you want to hear

Most times I'll just talk

To make sound



I wish I was here,

I wish I was anywhere

Broke down the door to my house

When I lost the keys

Now everything I had

Has been lost or stolen



And even my good friends

Have stopped coming around

Since I started wearing my dragon hat



I wish I was here,

I wish I was anywhere

Where I might reach out,

Where I might feel

There's a dead heart

Lying on my doorstep



I used to think

I'd pick it up and use it sometime

Now I step around,

I step around

Try not to notice

Well, I see it,

But mostly I don't care



I wish I was here,

I wish I was anywhere

Where I might reach out,

Where I might feel

But I think you know me,

It's just not that easy



I hope you don't follow me down

I don't ever look where I'm jumping

And everyone who comes along

Winds up dead or broken

But my rubber legs

Always seem to save me



I wish I was here,

I wish I was anywhere

Where I might reach out,

Where I might feel

But I think you know me,

And I just don't get better



I'd rather die than say I was wrong

I hope you don't listen to me,

I never think before speaking
