Missing Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 it
[Verse 2]
I dragged all that I owned
Down a dirt road to find you
My shoes worn out and used
They can't take me much farther
[Chorus]
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and
Put together even though
You know there's something missing
[Verse 3]
The 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 gutter
[Chorus]
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and
Put together even though
You know there's something missing
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 it
[Verse 2]
I dragged all that I owned
Down a dirt road to find you
My shoes worn out and used
They can't take me much farther
[Chorus]
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and
Put together even though
You know there's something missing
[Verse 3]
The 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 gutter
[Chorus]
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and
Put together even though
You know there's something missing
[Bridge]
She 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 broke, tried to feel but got choked
In the smoke of a desert, a beach with no treasure
A night that's so blue, feed the aching in you
In the background birds take a flight from the earth
Where the bonfire burns and the night current turns
On a lifeboat floating down a river of sleep
I can't see her hollow eyes
I'm walking along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears were mine
I'll give them to you to keep away in a box
[Chorus]
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and
Put together even though
You know there's something missing
[Outro]
Something always missing, always
Someone missing something
Something always missing, always
Someone missing something
Something always missing, always
Someone missing something
She 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 broke, tried to feel but got choked
In the smoke of a desert, a beach with no treasure
A night that's so blue, feed the aching in you
In the background birds take a flight from the earth
Where the bonfire burns and the night current turns
On a lifeboat floating down a river of sleep
I can't see her hollow eyes
I'm walking along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears were mine
I'll give them to you to keep away in a box
[Chorus]
Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and
Put together even though
You know there's something missing
[Outro]
Something always missing, always
Someone missing something
Something always missing, always
Someone missing something
Something always missing, always
Someone missing something
