Baby when you flew away you took my love with you
I watched you leave into the sky and I turned ocean blue
I'm erased, don't let it downpour, tears are falling out
I don't wanna wait, I want you now

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Everywhere you go, you know my heart's gonna follow
Half of me is gone and I'm feeling kinda hollow
Turn the plane around and come back to me tomorrow
Oh, oh, I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here

Summer sun and matching pairs of footprints in the sand
I see lovers kissing, laughing and I can't pretend
That I don't crave the love we made, don't want it again
Anywhere with you becomes a wondering

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Everywhere you go, you know my heart's gonna follow
Half of me is gone and I'm feeling kinda hollow
Turn the plane around and come back to me tomorrow
Oh, oh, I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here

When I'm with you I never sleep so I don't miss a thing
But when you're gone I stay in bed
'Cause you're my only dream

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Everywhere you go, you know my heart's gonna follow
Half of me is gone and I'm feeling kinda hollow
Turn the plane around and come back to me tomorrow
Oh, oh, I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here.

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
Everywhere you go, you know my heart's gonna follow
Half of me is gone and I'm feeling kinda hollow
Turn the plane around and come back to me tomorrow
Oh, oh, I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here (oh)
I wish you were here.

Bron-Y-Aur Stomp
Led Zeppelin
This is about bronies. They communicate by stomping.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

American Town
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran shares a short story of reconnecting with an old flame on “American Town.” The track is about a holiday Ed Sheeran spends with his countrywoman who resides in America. The two are back together after a long period apart, and get around to enjoying a bunch of fun activities while rekindling the flames of their romance.
