And you keep prancing
'round the house
Breaking the glasses
And the dishes
It's the lonely occupation
Of someone else's wishes
The position i'll be taking
Is the one I never left
There's a breath i'd like
To focus on as though
I learned to catch
There's feeling entitled
And there's being denied
And there's a tiny January
In your hot August nights;
It could be friends you keep making
In the warmth of fun and sun
It could be misunderstandings
Or do you miss someone?
It's all I know
How to miss someone
That's how it goes
I had to bury my
Sweet grandmother r.,
And you just don't know
How you're gonna lose control
I think you're coming
Off the wall
Before too long; coming
Off the wall
It took too long
And these people
You're surrounded by
Are half completed thoughts
Lost in lights of driftlessness
Compassion was the cost
Will you need me here forever
Or am I just about through
To wander through the wonder
My head all full of doom?
You think directions are the thing
We should be asking
The dead you keep collecting
Like callous, tempered plastic?
There's feeling entitled
And there's being denied
And there's a tiny January
And it's your hot August nights
Let's make amends
For mistaking that the worst
Is yet to come from all these
Misunderstandings
When I miss someone
It's all I know
How to miss someone
It's all I know
How to miss someone
