Wish I Were Here Lyrics

DIANA
In an instant lightning flashes and the burst might leave me blind.
When the bolt of lightning crashes and it burns right through my mind,
It's like someone drained my brain out, set my frozen mind to thaw,
Let the lethargy and pain out, while I stood and watched in awe.

NATALIE
I am riding on the brightest buzz.
I am worlds away from who I was.
And they told me it would change me,
Though they don't know how it does.
Cast (background vocals):
No they don't know how it does.

DIANA
I have lived a life of clouds and gray,
But this is crystal clear.
Wish I were here.
Cast (background vocals):
Wish I were here.
DIANA
I imagine it's remarkable,
Exuberant, austere.
Wish I were here.
Cast (background vocals):
Wish I were here.
DIANA
Wish I were here.
Cast (background vocals):
Wish I were here

NATALIE
It's euphoria, it's anger,
It's the winter wind, it's fire.
Cast (background vocals):
It's the winter wind, it's fire.
NATALIE
And it kills my deepest hunger as it fills me with desire.
I'm the light and heat of every sun.
DIANA
I'm the light and heat of every sun.
NATALIE
I'm a bullet from a magic gun.
DIANA
I'm a bullet from a magic gun.
NATALIE
And I'm trying to enjoy it,
DIANA & NATALIE
But I'm missing all the fun.
Cast (background vocals):
I am missing all the fun.

DIANA & NATALIE
Am i feeling what I think I'm feeling;
The hope, the heat, the fear?
Wish I were here.
Cast (background vocals):
Wish I were here.
Diana and Natalie:
Is this someone else's head trick?
Do I just disappear?
Wish I were here.
Cast (background vocals):
Wish I were here.
Diana and Natalie:
Wish I were here.
Cast (background vocals):
Wish I were... here.

DIANA & NATALIE
Plug me in and turn me on,
And flip the switch, I'm good as gone.
It slits my skin, and trips my brain
And feel the burn, when I don't feel the pain.

Is my brain reborn or is it wrecked,
In freedom or in fear?
Wish I were here.
Cast (background vocals):
Wish I were...

DIANA & NATALIE
Have I blown my mind forever?
Is cloudy my new clear?
Wish I were here.
Cast (background vocals):
Wish I were here.
DIANA & NATALIE
Wish I were here.
Wish I were...

NATALIE
Can I hide my stupid hunger,
Fake some confidence and cheer,
'Wish I were here'?
Wish I were here.
