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 U.F.O'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 roller coaster
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 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.
[Chorus:]
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 backlit 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.
[Chorus:]
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here.
The world's a roller coaster and I am not strapped in.
Maybe I should hold with care,but my hands are busy in the air.
[Chorus:]
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here
I wish you were here.
I Wish You Were Here by Incubus
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
Sayin
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
(Woo)
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 backlit canopy
With holes punched in it
I'm counting UFOs
I'll 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
Oh yeah, oh
The world's a roller coaster
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

Incubus
An incubus (nominal form constructed from the Latin verb, incubo, incubare, or "to lie upon") is a demon in male form who, according to a number of mythological and legendary traditions, lies upon sleepers, especially women, in order to have sexual intercourse with them. Its female counterpart is the succubus. An incubus may pursue sexual relations with a woman in order to father a child, as in the legend of Merlin. Religious tradition holds that repeated intercourse with an incubus or succubus may result in the deterioration of health, or even death. more »
