Missing You

(album: This Is Your Brain On Love - 2022)

Missing you used to mean 2 AM, grab the keys
In the car, on your street, knocking by 2:03
Missing you used to mean messing up
Telling my friends, "No, it's just this once"
Missing you used to mean showing up where you go
Calling it happenstance, second night in a row
Missing you used to mean it's getting late
Had a couple drinks, I should probably stay, but

If I ever, if I ever wanna try and get over you
I know what I'm supposed to do
I gotta make missing you just mean missing you, missing you
If we're together, then I'll never get to cutting your memory loose
I know what I gotta do
I gotta make missing you just mean missing you

Missing you's gotta mean we don't talk anymore
Give it time, have the wine, put the phone in a drawer
Long as it's a game, I'm bound to lose
Hardest damn thing I'm gonna have to do, but

If I ever, if I ever wanna try and get over you
I know what I'm supposed to do
I gotta make missing you just mean missing you, missing you
If we're together, then I'll never get to cutting your memory loose
I know what I gotta do
I gotta make missing you just mean missing you

(If I ever, if I ever, if I ever)
Missing you
(If I ever, if I ever, if I ever)
Missing you
(If I'm ever, if I'm ever, if I'm ever)
I gotta make missing you just mean

Ain't gonna touch your side of town (Your side of town)
No "are you ups," gotta shut it down (Shut it down)
Quit you cold, break it clean (Oh)
Just so you know (Just so you know) it's gotta mean (It's gotta mean)

If I ever, if I ever wanna try and get over you
I know what I'm supposed to do
I gotta make missing you just mean missing you
If we're together, then I'll never get to cutting your memory loose
I know what I gotta do
I gotta make missing you just mean missing you

(If I ever, if I ever, if I ever)
Missing you
(If I ever, if I ever, if I ever)
Missing you
(If I'm ever, if I'm ever, if I'm ever)
I gotta make missing you just mean
