Footprints

It was raining
I took the Metro to the beach
The sun was staying out of reach

I was playing
A game you used to play with me
To fill up where you used to be

Now don't you wish you were here?

Now the sand's filled up your footprint
And I wonder where the time went
When you looked back over your shoulder
I was feeling so much older
Now don't you wish you were here?

Just an outline
Of things that never had a prayer
Your perfume lingers in the air
But there's some things that you'll never dare

Now don't you wish you were here?

Will you write? did I miss your call?
You were right even after all
But don't you ever wish those days weren't so far away?
