If You Were Here

If you were here with me

We could hold hands while we're walking

Or ride the subway, miss our stop

Cuz we're too busy talking

If you were here with me

We could go to shows together

Dance around like a couple of jerks

And if they stare, who cares?

We've got each other

We could have sleepovers all of the time

You could use my toothbrush, I wouldn't mind

We'd watch Cartoon Network and dye our hair

That is if you were here instead of there

If you were here

I looked on the map today

Counted seven states between us

If you don't count New Jersey

Which I don't

And all my friends they say

Long distance sucks and that I

Should just forget about you

Get on with my life, but I won't

I'll just keep dreaming that the day will come

We'll go make out in Yankee Stadium

We'll order just one milkshake with two straws

And bring each other flowers just because

If you were here I could still write you postcards and

Letters but then I'd just deliver them by hand

You see cuz then I'd get to watch your face as you

Open them up and read bout how much I like you

I'd wear your leather jacket, you'd wear mine

You'd never be without a Valentine

We'd paint each other's toenails when we're bored

Or go out cruisin in my mom's Accord

We could spray paint out names inside a heart

Or shoplift all the Hot Wheels from K-Mart

I'd play my bass while you'd play your guitar

That is, if you were here instead of far
