Wish I Were Here - Next To Normal
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. 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. Voices: Though they don't know how it does. Diana: I have lived a life of clouds and grey, But this is crystal clear... Wish I were here. Voices: Wish I were here. Diana: I imagine it's remarkable. Exuberant. Austere. Wish I were here. Voices: Wish I were here. Wish I were here. Wish I were here. Natalie: It's euphoria, it's anger, Voices & Diana: It's the winter wind, it's fire. It's the winter wind, it's fire. And it kills my deepest hunger, As it fills me with desire. Natalie & Diana: I'm the light and heat of ev'ry sun... I'm a bullet from a magic gun... And I'm trying to enjoy it— Voices: But I'm missing all the fun. I am missing all the fun. Am I feeling what I think I'm feeling? Oooh... The hope, the heat, and fear? Oooh... Wish I were here. Wish I were here. Natalie & Diana: Is this someone else's head trip? Ah... Do I just disappear? Ah... Wish I were here. Wish I were here. Wish I were here. Wish I were... Here. Plug me in, And turn me on, And flip the switch— I'm good as gone. It slips my skin, Oh... And trips my brain. Oh... I feel the burn, But I don't' feel the pain. Pain. Is my brain reborn Ah... Or is it wrecked? Ah... In freedom or fear? Ah... Wish I were here. Wish I were— Have I blown my mind forever? Oh! Is cloudy my new clear? Oh! Wish I were here... Wish I Wish I were here... Were Wish I were— Here. Natalie: Can I hide my stupid hunger? Fake some confidence and cheer? Wish I were here. Wish I were here.
