Let's ignore the fact that this is one of the most amazing songs ever written and consider the phrase out of context. "Wish you were here." Holy hell. Tell me that isn't one of the most intense emotions ever. It's hard to describe it in a single word; "desire" doesn't quite cut it--"longing," perhaps? But still, to long for something somehow implies (at least in my interpretation) intention to go after that which is desired. "Wish you were here." No call to action. But not out of apathy or lack of motivation. Maybe out of hopelessness; maybe out of fear. Doomed to just...wish.
"Wish you were here." I've felt few things as strongly as I've felt this. And I've felt it for so many! But every "wish you were here" feels stronger than the last, and so this is my strongest yet. I wish you were here.
