Al Green - Here With Me Lyrics

[Chorus]
I wish you were here...
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here
I wish you were here with me

[Verse 1]
I wish you were here not there
Runnin' from my problems 'cause you're scared unfair
I was haunted by the image of your broken stare
Now the bourbon in my glass smell like the ocean air
I'm gone
Floatin' down the river while I writе this song
Liquor running through my veins won't let me right my wrongs
Lеt me fight my qualms
Let me find my calm
And I wanna get high but I'm already gone
Thunder cloud hangin' while I wonder how to make it
Try to ease the pressure with you underneath the blanket
Ask me what we're doin' here but darlin' now I'm blankin'
Now I'm drinkin'
Now I'm thinkin' that this storm gon' have me sinkin'
Errybody wanna know what happened to the kid
Wanna know what happened when he up and left the crib
We lost him for a while he was sailing off the grid
It was him and the wind 'til he found the man within
Dream fast dream slow let the seeds be sown
Let him grow let him go let him flow
Errybody wanna know how you know what you know
But you know that you just gotta show 'em how
How to find your balance when you're sittin' on the bow
How to find the dinosaur in every single cloud
How to sing a melody that makes your people proud
Stick around we gon' bounce to the sound of
After that, I'm after that
Errybody wanna know what comes after that
Will he fold from the pressure while his cash is strapped?
Does he fade to the tune of a laughter track?
[Chorus]
I wish you were here...
I wish you were here with me
I wish you were here
I wish you were here with me

[Verse 2]
I wish you were here with me
Peroni with a view down in Italy
We could picnic at the Pincio, sip on pinot grigio
In your presence everything is so clear to me
I hate when people ask where I call home, man
It's not an easy question when you like to roam
I mean D.C. really raised me just not alone
And when I really reminisce it's 'bout my time in Rome
I had the view from the terrace
My adolescent mind just didn't have the self-awareness
Summer evenings, you could catch a glimpse of Roman parrots
In the heat beneath the blanket of the luna and polaris
Summertime love, it was way better than Paris
Dancin' out in public, you could never be embarrassed
Sittin' on the fountain with my hand all in your hair
I was messin' up your makeup but I knew you didn't care
When your purse fell in the water I swear I was not aware
Maybe if I'd noticed sooner you would still be here
Maybe if I'd paid attention you'd have known I cared
But really that was only just a sign of disrepair
It's prolly for the best I moved away, think we were spared
It's crazy the relationships I've left up in the air
Think there's somethin' 'bout commitment
Makes me feel like I'm ensnared
Always lookin' for the problems and yeah they're always there
That just isn't fair
I don't see perfect in the mirror
It's something psychological 'cause I can't shed a tear
I'm emotionally detached and that's just really out of fear
It troubles me 'cause I know my intentions are sincere
And now we spin beneath the shadow of a broken chandelier
But lately someone new has started to shift my point of view
I've been breakin' down the walls every time we rendezvous
I never saw this comin'
You surprised me out the blue
And as I'm writin' this I'm wishin' I could be right there with you
[Outro]
Wishin'...
Wishin'...
I could...
Be...
There...
Be right there with you
