Missing (Album Version)

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

I'd drag all that I owned

Down the dirt road to find you

And my shoes worn-out and used

They can't take me much farther

Ohhh

Something always takes the place of missing pieces

You can take and put together even though

You know there's something missing

The sun burned a hole in my roof

I can't seem to fix it

And I hope rain doesn't come

Wash me down the gutter

Something always takes the place of missing pieces

You can take and put together even though

You know there's something missing

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 is broke

Tried to feel but got choked

In the smoke of a desert

A beach with no treasure

A night that seems blue

Feed the aching in you

And the background birds

Take a flight from the earth

A bonfire burns

And the night current turns

On a lifeboat floating

Down a river of sleep

Can't see her hollow eyes

Walking along with my boots full of rocks

Can't believe these tears of mine

I give 'em to you to keep away in a box

Something always takes the place of missing pieces

You can take and put together even though

You know there's something missing

Something always missing

Always someone missing something

Something always missing

Always someone missing something

Something always missing

Always someone missing something
