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 A hole in my roof I can't seem to fix it And I hope The rain doesn't come 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 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 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
