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 listen to this song at least ten times a day and i never get sick of it. I love the part when he says"the world's a roller caoster and I am not straped in. Well, mabey I should hold with care but my hands are busy in the air saying..." Does anyone have any other sugestions for good incubus songs?

Such a lovely song. I can relate to this song because when I get happy I think about all the people I can't share the happiness with and I wish they could be with me. Great message

never can get sick of it!! a special boy i kno learnt this on the drums and we adore this song and it reminds me of him and the beach. i used two lines i think off this song as a metaphor in an english essay - the sky resembles a backlit canopy with wholes punched in it AND the ocean looks like a thousand diamonds strewn across a blue blanket and to incubus's credit and all due-respect, i walked away with a very satisfiable B+

incubus = legends!!

its not a cover. pink floyd does have a song called wish you were here but it is completely different

you shouldnt vote it down just because you think it is a cover anyway

Me andmy friend Kathrine called random people in America using Skype. I talked to this guy called Jon, and the next couple of weeks me and Kathrine only talked about him. I realized how nice he really was, and FUNNY! One day i watched this sad movie and he told me how he wished that he had watched it with me. I slowly started to fall in love with him and i got butterflies in my stomach everytime he signed on. One day he gave me this song, and he said: I know you're gonna like it. And I did .. I fall in love with this guy just as i falled in love with this beautiful song, Wish You Were Here. We've never met, but someday i hope we will, cuz he's really cute and i think i love him.

I WISH YOU WERE HERE IS THE GREATESTS SONG EVER ... and so is Incubus. My favorite band
