We're just two lost souls Swimming in a fish bowl, Year after year, Running over the same old ground. What have we found? The same old fears. Wish you were here.

Roger Waters
About This Quote

This beautiful song by the band Wish You Were Here is about a boy and girl who have been together for years. They never break up and they never grow apart. One day the boy feels like he needs to go somewhere else and experience new things. At first, he tells the girl that he will only be gone for a short time.

While he is gone, his friends convince him to stay out all night and meet people that do not exist in his life. Eventually, he decides to go back home after all and finds his girl waiting for him. He realizes that she has not changed at all and loves him just as much as she did when he left.
