I Wish I Was Here Lyrics

I hope you don't listen to me
I don't always say what I'm thinking
And sometimes I'll tell you,
What I think you want to hear
Most times I just talk to make a sound

I wish I was here
I wish I was anywhere

I broke down the door to my house
When I lost the keys
Everything I have
Has been lost, or stolen

Even my good friends
Have stopped coming around
Since I started wearing my dragon hat

I wish I was here
I wish I was anywhere
Where i might feel
Where I might reach out to you

There's a dead heart
Lyin' on my doorstep
I used to think I'd pick it up
And use it once in a while
Now I step around
I step around it
And try not to notice
Well I see it, but mostly I don't care

I wish I was here
I wish I was anywhere
Where I might feel
Where I might reach out for you
But I think you know now
It's just not that easy

Well I hope, you don't follow me down
Cuz I never look, where I'm jumping
And everyone comes along
And winds up dead or broken
But my rubber legs always seem to save me

I wish I was here
I wish I was anywhere
Where I might feel
Where I might see you
And I think I know now
That I just don't get better
I'd rather die
Than say I was wrong

I hope you don't listen to me
Cuz I never think before speaking

Dog's Eye View are an alternative folk/rock group from Los Angeles, California who formed in 1994. The group's revolving lineup circles around singer/songwriter Peter Stuart and currently consists of Stuart (vocals, guitar), Curt Schneider (bass, guitar, percussion), Andrew Williams (guitar) and Matt Beck (guitar). They are best known for their 1995 hit single "Everything Falls Apart".

Peter Stuart (vocalist/guitarist) started out by playing in the acoustic club circuit. He then became a backup singer on a Counting Crows tour in 1994. He recorded an album with producer Jimbo Barton and a band that included Neil Nunziato on drums, Mike Visceglia on bass, Dawn Buckhola on the cello, and Regina Ballantese on the violin. They became known collectively as Dog's Eye View. They signed with Sony Records and released the album Happy Nowhere in 1995, which peaked at #77 on the Billboard Top 200 album charts. The band recorded a song for the Vic Chesnutt benefit album "Sweet Relief Two". In 1996 they had major success at radio and VH1 with the single "Everything Falls Apart", which hit #8 on the Top 40 Mainstream charts and #66 on the Billboard Hot 100. Following this success, Dog's Eye View toured with Counting Crows, Del Amitri, and The Wallflowers following the release of Happy Nowhere. However, a second single, "Small Wonders", failed to chart.

A second album, Daisy, was released by Sony in 1997. Following this, Peter Stuart released a solo album, Propeller, on Vanguard Records in 2002. After an extended hiatus, Dog's Eye View released a third album (also on Vanguard), Tomorrow Always Comes, in 2005. Read more on Last.fm.
