If You Were Here Lyrics

Artist: Thompson Twins
Album: Quick Step & Side Kick

(chorus)
if you were here
i could deceive you
and if you were here
you would believe
but would you suspect
my emotion wandering, yeah
do not want a part of this anymore
The rain water drips
through a crack in the ceiling
and i'll have to spend
my time on repair
But just like the rain
i'll be always falling, yeah
only to rise and fall again
(REPEAT CHORUS)

by vijay on 7/8/2008 2:01am nice romantic song
by Kevin on 10/9/2008 11:40am Beautiful song... almost haunting. I think the writer is complaining about his/her cycle of easily falling in and out of love. The writer wants happiness... but cannot find it.
by Quinn on 10/21/2008 1:11pm I can close my eyes and watch the end of the movie, Sixteen Candles, when 'the girl' gets into the Porsche with 'the guy' and they drive off to his house. There, this song plays in the background as they sit on his parents' glass dining room table, sharing a kiss over her belated birthday cake. This scene is worth suffering through the whole movie just to appreciate the happy ending...
by Matten Joanes on 10/23/2008 3:00am In case you didnt realize it and after 25 or so years, 99% of people who saw the film "Sixteen Candles" who asked who did that song at the end -- well people this is THAT song. HAPPY B-DAY SAM!
by Ivone on 11/21/2008 3:19pm Matter Joanes you are right! I always wondered who did that awesome song at the end of "Sixteen Candles". I am glad I know :) Really, it is a great song.

by Pretty in pink on 9/14/2009 2:50pm Just watched priviliged and a cover of this song came on. Made me go back and listen to it. And i love 16 candles too :)x
by theJetDude on 9/16/2009 10:44pm Yeah rad song. I miss the 80's. Great decade. Great movies by John Hughes.
by Rendon76 on 9/19/2009 3:33pm As I was listening to this I could see it as the song in my wedding (if I ever get married)I can picture a whole scene with her, me, then kids and balloons falling then everyone coming onto the dance floor... oh wait.. yeah this song does things like that to you. Dreamy song and RIP John Hughes, brilliant man will be missed.
by rosenbill on 10/7/2009 9:58pm Such a beautiful song (but sad love songs usually are). Jake is just beyond cool, i wish time could stand still at the very end (of the movie).
by asher on 10/21/2009 10:16pm this song is not about happy... read the lyrics. Although great ending to movie.
by russet on 11/20/2009 9:03pm Best soundtrack ever. Thompson twins, Suzanne Vega, Belouise Some, New Order, OMD. Best line from the movie micheal anthony hall "nice manners babe"
