Missing You

(album: Horrible Kids - 2011)

It's been a long time
And I find myself wishing maybe I could connect
It's been a long night
And this service sucks and my message can't be sent
All I know, I need, is you
Even if it's just for today
Some way you will see
A letter leads me back to you

Dear lovely, I know it's hard to be this strong
I may be gone, but not for long, I swear
It's not like me to argue over nothing
So, I apologize ahead of time
For what I'll put you through

But I'm afraid of losing the better part of home
So can we

Work it out, 'cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on
With every day

Dear sweetheart, I got your letter and it shows
The both of us could use some room to grow
And it scares me, how easy it's become to fight
It's not the way I want to end this night
Please call me

'Cause I'm afraid of facing living life without you
So can we

Work it out, 'cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on
Give me life, 'cause you take my breath in every single way
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on
With every day

I dropped my heart and she broke its fall
This ale's become my ailment
I hope I didn't drop the ball

(I dropped my heart and she broke its fall
This ale's become an ailment
I hope I didn't drop the ball)
Call me please, my dear, we need to solve this here and now
I clutch my phone, my heart pounding at the sound

(I dropped my heart and she broke its fall
This ale's become an ailment
I hope I didn't drop the ball)
Call me please, my dear, we need to solve this here and now
I clutch my phone, my heart pounding at the sound

This is not what I intended at all
How can we let this all slip away?
You have to understand, it's hard
I need your touch, but you're just too far
"I thought you said you were patient."
"I swear that I am."
"Why do we have these fights?"
"Because I'm scared of the end."
It doesn't have to, 'cause we need each other

Work it out, 'cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on (Whoa-oh, oh)
Give me life, 'cause you take my breath in every single way
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on
With every day

It's been a long time
But we'll carry on just like we did before
