what was missing
I've been reading words
about writing songs
and meeting girls
that talk too much about love
the dark just creeps around the corner
right before the night has to say goodbye
At a party of faces
no ones part of the crowd
i've been having this dream
where my father dies in a car
and i write him a letter
Now i'm licking stamps
and wondering who i should address it to
Tonight has been one of those nights
that makes you want to die
because we all want to end on a good note
We can't read without lights
i can't write without you
I'll just pull my jacket tighter
and head down that road
Hear that sound in the distance
an echo of the world
that doesn't want me here
congratulations are in order
to make things that much more developed
and to close a lot of cases
and to make that smile
cross your beautiful face
Still i drink the drinks
that pound my head
and make me think
things are better than they seem
So if God created all of you,
who give life to me?
Should I act like i'm alone?
or just fall into the mob?
A lot of the skin
that i've torn since we last spoke
is red, and itches my bones
the more i think about the pain
the less i think about,
what's really hurting me.
Later, i'm up in my room
crying out my eyes
trying to think about
something to be sad for
I'm told to be an adult
but i still feel like a kid
my heart still beats the same
it's just a little bigger
rest your worn head on my shoulder
and let's stare into a big cloud
this is the ground where we sat
in this big open field
under that tree
birds sang sweet
and thunder clapped it's dirty hands
we bothed laughed in unison
i looked right at your eyes
and i couldn't bring myself to say
I'm so fucking in love with you.
