i wish i could be mad and break something   i wish they took me instead, you were nothing   short of all the things i'll never be   you would never be bitter like me      you solved my problems like it was your job   i never thought that one day you'd be gone   or i'd tell you how much late night talks    really did mean everything to me      bad times for everyone today      i only wish this could be your hand across the page   and i only wish this could be a song for you sing   and i only wish that it was me in the car that day   and i only wish that i said goodbye before you went away      then you could tell me how to get through these days      miniature golf cannot be played   once the seasons change and end this summer holiday   i knew the sun would shine again   i didnt' know that this one was your last      the summer started off me pacing in a room   feeling comfort only seconds long   hoping passersby were you   not-so-distant memories   i cried that night cause they took you too soon      hard times for everyone today      i only wish this could be your hand across the page   and i only wish this could be a song for you sing   and i only wish that it was me in the car that day   and i only wish that i said goodbye before you went away      like everybody else    i have my own shit list, and   i want to you to know that   you were at the bottom of it      little techincalities and    indescribabilities and    i can put my finger on it   now i'm in this fucking van   5000 things i won't forget      your face   move on   again   goodbye      how i long to share eternal life with you, and (repeated)      i only wish this could be your hand across the page   and i only wish this could be a song for you sing   and i only wish that it was me in the car that day   and i only wish that i said goodbye before you went away      then you could tell me how ...   to get through these days      if we had just another day   we'd have a ball instead of pissing it all away   three cheers for all those summer days   hey hey yeah
