missing lyrics

Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo
Oh doo doo hmm
Oh doo doo doo doo

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 the dirt road to find you
And my shoes, worn-out and used
They can't take me much farther, oh

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 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 a beach with no leisure

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 give 'em 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
Something always missing
Always someone missing something
