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 a dirt road to find you
And 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
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 hollow eyes
I'm walking along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears were mine
I'll give them to you to put 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
Something always missing
Always someone missing something
Something always missing
Always someone missing something
Something always missing
Always someone missing something
