Let Me Miss You

I wish that it was nineteen seventy I'd call your answering machine Pretend you're whispering to me Instead I see your face on every screen I wish that I could isolate the pain Cut it out, sterilize, and clean Give the wound a couple weeks Instead it fills me whole Bursts at the seams Let me miss you Let me forget you If I can't kiss you Can I regret you Your sweat stains my sheets Your lips brush my cheek In my dreams, in my dreams Let me miss you I wish that I could recoup all I spent Expanding the rooms of my mind Just to fit you within them Instead I'll be too scared to build again I'll try to invent what comes next I'll remove your name from those plans Alchemize the torment into text Clear my head Let me miss you Let me forget you If I can't kiss you Can I regret you Your air's all I breathe Your arms cradle me In my dreams In my dreams Let me miss you
