I prayed Heaven today

Bring it's hammer down on me

And pound you out of my head

I can't think with you in it

I dragged all that I own

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

I hope the rain doesn't come

And 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 the car like the Queen on her card

And the guns of her mind aim a line straight to 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, feel the aching in you

Background birds take a flight from the Earth

The bonfire burns through 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

Can't believe these tears are mine

I gave 'em 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

Something always missing, always someone missing something

Something always missing, always someone missing something

Something always missing, always someone missing something
