I prayed Heaven today 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 the dirt road to find you My shoes worn out and used They can't take me much farther
Something always takes the place of missing pieces You can take and put together even though You know there's something missing
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, a beach with no treasure
A 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 hollow eyes I'm walkin' along with my boots full of rocks I can't believe these tears were mine I'll give them to you to keep away in a box
I'll give them to you to keep away in a box I'll give them to you to keep away in a box 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
