Lyrics

The lyrics are the same throughout the 2ndMIX and X2 versions.

The train's gone, and I am standing alone.
I think of you and wonder if you think of me, too.
I'm back to the town that I was born in
To think of my life and to start it over with you.

Cause, you know, we've been in a maze of love
And we are losing control to get away.
Here I am walking on the hill in this town
Like in my childhood that seems like yesterday.

If you were here with me
You could feel the way I do now.
If you were here with me
You could see what I am looking for now.

Trivia

• IF YOU WERE HERE is a Dancemania song originating from Dancemania EXTRA.
• IF YOU WERE HERE was revived in DanceDanceRevolution X2, along with HERO, DAM DARIRAM, and CAPTAIN JACK(GRANDALE REMIX). The charts remain roughly the same as their 2ndMIX-EXTREME versions, except with the addition of Freeze Arrows, more steps to accomodate the extended length of the X2 cut, and a new Shock Arrow Challenge chart.
• IF YOU WERE HERE's DDR 2ndMIX incarnation is also playable in DanceDanceRevolution X3 VS 2ndMIX. While the X2 version is also titled IF YOU WERE HERE, the 2ndMIX version's album art is actually the CD with the 2ndMIX mode banner at the bottom. The Challenge charts are also different (the 2ndMIX version is not a shock arrow Challenge chart), and also, the 2ndMIX version has its 2ndMIX mode background video on a stage.
• IF YOU WERE HERE (DDR 2ndMIX version) was removed on DDR 2013. But the X2 version is still present.
• If the 2ndMIX version was not removed, then both versions will have the same album art
• Contrary to what the BPM on the songwheel says, the 2nd Mix version of IF YOU WERE HERE is not a flat 145 BPM. It fluctuates at various points throughout the song, with the tempo ranging from 145.04 BPM to 147.54 BPM.
  • Oddly enough, the 8-bit version from Dance Dance Revolution GB actually does run at a constant tempo.
    • However, that constant tempo is 143.29 BPM, not 145 BPM.
