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 further

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
hole in my roof
I can't seem to fix it
And I hope
The rain [bad word] 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 was broke
Tried to feel but got choked
In the smoke of a desert beach with no treasure
night that's so blue
Feed the aching in you
And 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 hallow eyes
I'm walking along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears are mine
I'll give them 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
