Missing You

(album: So We Can Remember - 2014)

You are, you are, you are, you are, you are
Everything I don't wanna be-ee
Everything I don't wanna be-ee
But I, but I, but I, but I
Can see everything of you in me
What the fuck, goodbye goodbye

Hey dad, gee it feels funny to say that
You got any money to pay back? mum's broke
Her boyfriend's a dumb joke, some drunk bloke
Gets way mad; kinda like you
Well, that's what I heard my word
You've got a dynamite fuse
Now tell me, how'd you like to buy booze
Write tunes and hide from everybody that tries to find you
Yo Reilly, why'd you sideline me?
I tried to phone but you don't answer
That's what I do see I'm kinda like you
True, check the smile if you wanna gander
I've got bad teeth too
Must be in the gene pool
It's got me thinking what you've been through
It's been a minute since I've seen you
Maybe we can meet soon
If not I can understand it
Keep cool kicking in your caravan
And how'd you go after that accident?
Face full of glass, long neck and some pain killers
I'm just asking why you ain't with us

You are, you are, you are, you are, you are
Everything I don't wanna be-ee
Everything I don't wanna be-ee
But I, but I, but I, but I
Can see everything of you in me
What the fuck, goodbye goodbye

Missing you, missing missing you
Missing you, miss miss missing you
Missing you, missing missing you
Missing missing you-oooo

What up Pops?
Yo I gotta give props
From day dot you were working more than one job
Just to keep the heat on
On that night shift. where has he gone?
Cause by day you would get your sleep on
Aged eight, moved to the UK for opportunities
But never seen none, to shay, city escape in the '80 for an immigrant
Wasn't killin shit
Shitty pay put some scraps on your dinner plate
It's a pity, hey?
I remember how it happened when
You had that crash and your back got bent
That was some tragic shit
When you lost your court case
I'll never forget the look I saw up on your face of pure pain
From that day forth you had a changed demeanor
Went from happy go lucky to couldn't give a fuck
I began to say how hard it was to see ya
With each new day grow a little more meaner
To my brother George won't know that you're a great bloke
I'm sorry that he chose you as his scapegoat
No more bear hugs for the bear cubs
Just medicated drugs but I maintain hope

You are, you are, you are, you are, you are
Everything I don't wanna be-ee
Everything I don't wanna be-ee
But I, but I, but I, but I
Can see everything of you in me
What the fuck, goodbye goodbye

Missing you, missing missing you
Missing you, miss miss missing you
Missing you, missing missing you...
Missing missing you-oooo
Missing you, missing missing you
Missing you, miss miss missing you
Missing you, missing missing you...
