You Should Be Here Now (Live)

The coffee's gone cold beside the window Your keys are still sitting where you left them I caught myself telling you a story Then remembered there was no one there to hear it The television's talking to an empty room The photographs turned against the wall I keep expecting something to happen Like you're about to walk through the door After all Funny how place can feel so different When the person you love isn't around You should be here now, sitting right beside me Laughing at the stories that nobody else finds funny Come on! You should be here now, with your boots kicked off Your hand in mine, like nothing ever changed at all I don't know where you are tonight I don't know if you think of me somehow But if there's anywhere you could be You should be here now There's a picture of us above the fireplace Sunburned faces, twenty-three We thought we'd live forever back then Maybe forever wasn't meant to be Your favorite song just came on the radio And I almost called you on the phone Then I remember all the reasons why Sometimes missing you means letting go Some things don't get easier with distance You just learn to carry them somehow Together! You should be here now, sitting right beside me Laughing at the stories that nobody else finds funny You should be here now, with your boots kicked off Your hand in mine, like nothing ever changed at all I don't know where you are tonight I don't know if you think of me somehow But if there's anywhere you could be You should be here now Maybe somewhere down the highway You're looking at the same moon Maybe there's a part of you That still remembers me and you And if you ever find your way back You won't have to say a thing I'll leave the porch light on for you I'll leave the door unlocked tonight Give it up for Billy Joe Sparks! You should be here now, sitting right beside me Your shoulder next to mine Like it used to be You should be here now, and I swear I hear you laughing Every time the wind blows through these old oak trees Maybe tomorrow I'll stop wishing Maybe I'll finally figure out how But tonight, underneath these stars You should be here now There's a cold beer sweating on the porch rail And the moon is hanging low somehow I've got one empty chair beside me And you should be here now
