Contextual Analysis of "wish you were" in Lyrics

i want you now

i wish you were here

happy

i wish you were here

forgotten old memories of you

i wish you were here with me

i said i know

i wish you were my friend

baby i

i wish i was drinking

spend the night together by the river on the west side

i wish you were here

london boys

london boys

you're all mine

you're all mine

i don't know what it's about

when the shadows fall

oh

i wish you were the one that got away

i don't care who was wrong i won't go there at all

it's times just like these that i desperately need you

ba-ra

ba-ba

baby

i see lovers walking on the beach at sunset

all i want to say to you

all i want to do to you

and i think that it shows

i wish you were someone else
