Song lyrics
I dig my toes into the sand
The ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket
I lean against the wind, pretend that I am weightless
And in this moment I am happy
Happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were...here

I lay my head onto the sand
The sky resembles a back-lit canopy with holes punched in it
I'm counting UFO's, I signal them with my lighter
And in this moment i am happy
Happy

I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were...here
Wish you were here

The world's a rollercoaster
And I am not strapped in
Maybe I should hold with care
But my hands are busy in the air, saying

I wish you were here
I wish you were...
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were...here
Wish you were here

i listened to this song when i was in hawaii, on the beach in the middle of the night, staring up into a starry sky with a red moon setting to the west. and it felt like i rediscovered the song all over again.

simply incredible.

This song is probably the most beautiful one that Incubus has ever written. It gives me a sence of tranquility and peacefulness. Incubus is definately awesome.

"The world's a rollecoaster and I am not strapped in,
Maybe I should hold with care but my hands are busy in the air..." <---- the perfect description of my attitude to life and the world.
The lyrics... wooooooooooow...
A perfect song for lying down on a windy beach, pretending you can fly.
Yeah, man. I do that every day. The beach being the poster of a tropical shore located right next to my bed. Ah well... anyone like to donate money for a "let's-stalk-Incubus" holiday to California? Join the scheme!!
