Next To Normal

Next To Normal - Wish I Were Here lyrics

rate me

Diana:<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.
