about

I originally wrote this song about a girl, but I re-adapted it to be about certain family and friends who I moved away from.

lyrics

Wish I’d been There
Looking through your photographs I see your smiles I see your laughs
Another captured moment in which I missed out on your life
And once upon a time I might have seen me with you in that frame
But that time is non-existent, oh am I the one to blame?
Oh I wish that I’d been there- with you
If your life was a movie, would I be casted in
As a supporting actor, or just an extra in the crowd
As the years keep slipping by before my very own unwatching eyes
You will hardly know me, and I won’t wonder why
Oh I wish that I’d been there- with you

If I had one golden opportunity to change my world
I’d place myself in your photographs and fake some memories
And the next time when we get together and you pull out all your picture books
We’ll reminisce the good times that you really don’t remember
Oh I wish that I’d been there- with you
