How Can I Miss You?

(专辑： Lightning Strikes Twice - 2010)

We were two ships passing that stopped to meet
Who struck a deal to be discreet
We're both adults, we knew the rules
Some passions burn as quick as the cool

Yeah, sure, you curled my toes and you made me see God
We even had a crowd, they'd have stood to applaud
The earth moved beneath us and the planets aligned
We did what could make all the saints go blind
But all that aside, when I left that implied
That you'd go your way and that I'd go mine
I fantasized we'd have distance and time

And I'd send you diamonds, I'd send you pearls
I'd send your favorite flowers from the edge of the world
I would write you a song each day
That speaks of the ache in my heart every day we're apart
I would call upon the hour 24 times a day
Just to hear your voice on your voice mail play
I'd be counting down the seconds until my next chance to kiss you
But how can I miss you, whoah, when you won't go away?

Want my opinion? To tell the truth...
It's like you're wearing a Velcro suit
Can't move an inch without you there
Can't say goodbye 'cause you've stolen my air
Now I've got me a shadow where my shadow used to be
When all I wanted was a memory
Just give me some room before lust turns to hate
I'd rather starve than suffocate

I'd send you diamonds, I'd send you pearls
I'd send your favorite flowers from the edge of the world
I would write you a song each day
That speaks of the ache in my heart every day we're apart
I would call upon the hour 24 times a day
Just to hear your voice on your voice mail play
I'd be counting down the seconds until my next chance to kiss you
But how can I miss you, whoah, when you won't go away?

I've forgotten where I begin and you end
So let me

Just send you diamonds, I'll send you pearls
I'd send your favorite flowers from the edge of the world
I would write you a song each day
That speaks of the ache in my heart every day we're apart
I would call upon the hour 24 times a day
Just to hear your voice on your voice mail play
I'd be counting down the seconds until my next chance to kiss you
But how can I miss you, whoah, when you won't go away?...
