[Intro]
Ohh

[Verse 1]
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell? Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?

[Verse 2]
And did they get you to trade your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees? Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change? And did you exchange
A walk-on part in the war for a lead role in a cage?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, wish you were here

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell? Blue skies from pain?
Can you tell a green field from a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil? Do you think you can tell?
[Chorus]
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
The same old fears, oh, I wish you were here

[Outro]
How I wish, how I wish you were here
How I wish, how I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl, year after year
How I wish, how I wish you were here
Running over the same old ground, what have we found?
How I wish, how I wish you were here
The same old fears
How I wish, how I wish you were here
