You Were Here Lyrics - Sarah Harmer

Are there no blinders on lights that glare? 

White noise on the eyes 

From gas station lights and reflected ice glare 

So that I can walk home by moonlight alone 

Or can we go out to where the wind howls 

And stand to lean up against the trees? 

They've grown up so tall that you can't see the house 

It's a fortress now but you know how it used to be 

I can lie to myself 

And say I like it 

But I would love it if you were here 

These words on paper smell like you 

Associated in random thought 

On my lips the words turn blue 

Evidence I'm feeling lost 

I can lie to myself 

And say, I like it 

But I would love it if you were here 

I'm just sad for myself 

'Cause I know you're clear 

But I would love it if you were here 

I can just see you show me your garden 

I thought, you'd grow roses and grapes on low vines 

I wanted to know you when we were both older 

I thought, there'd be more of those wonderful times 

I can lie to myself 

And say, I like it 

But I would love it if you were here 

I'm just sad for myself 

'Cause I know you're clear 

But I would love it if you were here 

You were here 

Yes, you were 

Yes, you were
