I prayed heaven today
Would bring its hammer down on me
And pound you out of my head
I can't think with you in itI dragged all that I owned down a dirt road
To find you my shoes worn out and used
They can't take me much fartherSomething always takes the placeOf missing piecesyou can take and put together even though
You know there's something missingThe sun burned a hole in my roof
I can't seem to fix it
I hope the rain doesn't come
And wash me down the gutterShe rides in a car like a queen on a card
And the guns of her mind aim a line
Straight at mine to a heart that was broketried to feel but got choked in the smoke of
A desert
A beach with no leisure a night that's so blue
Feed the aching in you and the backgroundBirds take a flight from the earth
Where the bonfire burns and the night
Current turns on a lifeboat floating
Down a river of sleepI can't see her hollow eyesI'm walking along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears were mine
I'll give them to you to put away in a boxSomething always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and put
Together even though
You know there's something missingSomething always missing always
Someone missing something
