I can't think with you in it
I can't believe these tears were mine
Always someone missing something
Something always takes the place of missing pieces
I can't see her hollow eyes
Always someone missing something
You can take and put together even though
Would bring its hammer down on me
I give 'em to you to put away in a box
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
She rides in a car like a queen on a card
And the background birds take a flight from the earth
I'm walking along with my boots full of rocks
I can't seem to fix it
The sun burned a hole in my roof
You know there's something missing
Something always missing
Down the dirt road to find you
Oh doo doo doo doo
Something always missing
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
You know there's something missing
Something always missing
And I hope rain doesn't come
In the smoke of a desert a beach with no leisure
You know there's something missing
Something always missing
On a lifeboat floating down a river of sleep
Always someone missing something
Something always takes the place of missing pieces
To a heart that was broke tried to feel but got choked
And the guns of her mind aim a line straight at mine
I dragged all that I owned
You can take and put together even though
Oh doo doo hmm
Always someone missing something
I prayed heaven today
Doo doo doo doo
And my shoes, worn-out and used
You can take and put together even though
Where the bonfire burns and the night current turns
Wash me down the gutter
A night that's so blue feed the aching in you
And pound you out of my head
They can't take me much farther, oh
Doo doo doo doo
Something always takes the place of missing pieces
