You can take and put together even though
I dragged all that I owned
I'll give them to you to keep away in a box
And the background birds, take a flight from the earth
Something always takes the place of missing pieces
You can take and put together even though
I can't believe these tears were mine
Always someone missing something
And the guns of her mind, aim a line straight at mine
She rides in a car, like a queen on a card
Something always missing
My shoes worn out and used
I'll give them to you to keep away in a box
On a lifeboat floating, down a river of sleep
Always someone missing something
You know there's something missing
You can take and put together even though
Something always takes the place of missing pieces
Something always missing
A night that's so blue, feed the aching in you
Something always missing
Something always takes the place of missing pieces
Something always missing
I'll give them to you to keep away in a box
I can't see her hollow eyes
They can't take me much farther
I'm walkin' along with my boots full of rocks
Where the bonfire burns and the night current turns
In the smoke of a desert, a beach with no treasure
I'll give them to you to keep away in a box
And pound you out of my head
I can't think with you in it
You know there's something missing
You know there's something missing
To a heart that was broke, tried to feel but got choked
Always someone missing something
Down the dirt road to find you
