Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I dragged all that I owned
Down the dirt road to find you
And my shoes, worn out and used
They can't take me much farther
[Verse 3]
Something always takes the place of missing pieces
You can take and put together
Even though, you know there's something missing
[Verse 4]
Something always takes the place of missing pieces
You can take and put together
Even though, you know there's something missing
[Verse 5]
She rides in the car, like a queen on her 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
[Verse 6]
A night that's so blue, feel the aching in you
And the background birds take a flight from the Earth
And the bonfire burns, and the night current turns
On a lifeboat floating down a river of sleep
[Verse 7]
I can't see how hollow eyes
I'm walking along with my boots full of rocks
I can't believe these tears are mine
I'll give 'em to you to keep away in a box
[Verse 8]
I'll give 'em to you to keep away in a box
I'll give 'em to you to keep away in a box
I'll give 'em to you to keep away in a box
[Verse 9]
Something always takes the place of missing pieces
You can take and put together
Even though, you know there's something missing
[Verse 10]
Something always missing, always someone missing something
Something always missing, always someone missing something
Something always missing, always someone missing something
Something always missing, always someone missing something
