(no subject)
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 dragged all that i owned down a dirt road to find you
and my shoes, worn out and used, they can't take me much farther..
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 the rain doesn't come and 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 point 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's so blue, feel 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
i can't see her hollow eyes
walking along with my boots full of rocks
can't believe these tears are 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...
