This is about taking someone with you wherever you go even though they're not really there
I was painting in a cemetery in New York today
I thought of you when it started to rain
I still take you with me everywhere
Thanks a lot for being there
I know how hard that is for you
No one in history has survived this much pain

I wish you were here
But you’re nowhere near
Light years away
But in the same state
I wish you were here
But you’re nowhere near

I was dreaming of the Mississippi in New Orleans last night
I saw your face in a river of fire
I hope you’re alright and everything
You’re in every song I sing
There's no answer when I call you
When I said I hated you, I became the liar

I wish you were here
But you’re nowhere near
Light years away
But in the same state
I wish you were here
But you’re nowhere near

Fizzle, fizzle, fallen star
How I wonder where you are
Probably somewhere really far
I couldn’t drive there in a car
Down below the world so low
Where you fall, nobody knows
