Missing (10/11/4)

Verse 1:

Where are you now at 3 o’ clock at night

When my eyes can hardly open

But I won’t sleep till I’ve found what’s missing

What is it then that’s keeping me awake

An elusive sound that somehow might express my feelings


Chorus:

Comin’ home to an empty house

Lookin’ around, expectin’ to see you

Oh yeah… you had to go away for awhile…

Read the papers, have some ice-cream and cheese

And all the while I’m waiting for that missing something….

Just didn’t know then it was you


Verse 2:

Does someone matter once they’re out of your life

Does he live on in your dreams

Or do you miss him when you sleep at night

Do you still remember all the times and things you shared

Or do you put them in a box and bury it deep


Bridge:

The smell of death in my nostrils

This time you’re gone for good

And I realise again that the dead don’t matter….

’Cos life only has room for the living

Note: This song was mostly about my dog who died, with a little bit of ideas regarding my now-ex-bf (whom I somehow associate with my dog, because the choice of getting a bf was related to my mom sort of asking 'Would you rather have a dog or a boyfriend?'. A dog, any day :-) )
