I wish you were a tear next to me when I feel fear next to me when I feel forlorn next to me when I feel torn next to me when I feel ecstatic next to me when I feel manic next to me when I feel gleeful next to me when I feel dreadful I hoped you'd be more near I wish you were a tear
The tear is a metaphor for a missed person, that should of been there at important times when you had cried during the highs and lows. They should have been as close as a tear to your face, to share that moment.
