The Get Up Kids - A Newfound Interest In Massachusetts. But that’s a bit place specific.

The Postal Service - The District Sleeps Tonight. But it’s also very place specific. And it’s about visiting the person in her new home.

So I guess I’m not very helpful, am I?

Pray for Me by Michael W. Smith. Not quite a “wish you were here” song but similar. It is Christian Rock too.

“The Other Side of Night” by the Rembrandts. It’s either about someone who moved to somewhere very far away, or died. I haven’t been able to figure out which.

How about [My Buddy](http://www.smickandsmodoo.com/aaa/lyrics/buddy.htm)?

Great old WWI song. It’s been covered by Dr. John, on _In a Sentimental Mood_.

_I’m OK, You’re OK_, **MxPx**.

Not mushy in the least, and a really good song.

I’ve always thought [I Am Yours](http://www.anylyrics.com/lyrics.php?Artist=Derek+And+The+Dominos&Album=Layla+And+Other+Assorted+Love+Songs&Song=I+Am+Yours), by Derek and the Dominos, was one of the great romantic songs out there.
