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