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