I used to go to this bar back when I didn't have a car
'Cause it was close to my apartment, so that was just as far as I went
There's nothing special about the place, nothing too hard to recreate
Just pour some old beer on the carpet, and make it close to my apartment

Whoa, time goes by so slowly, baby
I wish you were here

And when I think about your face, there is always something hard to place
The way the light would hit your features when we were hangin' by the bleachers
Your funeral I didn't make, but that ain't what keeps me awake
It's not the money I still owe you
Or photographs I'll never show you

Whoa, time goes by so slowly, baby
I wish you were here

Whoa, time goes by so slowly, baby
I wish you were here

Oh, time goes by so slowly, baby
I wish you were here
