Missing lyrics

I prayed heaven today
Would bring its hammer down on me
And pound you out of my head
I can t think with you in it

I dragged all that I owned
Down a dirt road to find you
My shoes worn out and used
They can t take me much farther

Something always takes the place
Of missing pieces
You can take and put together even though
You know there s something missing

The sun burned a hole in my roof
I can t seem to fix it
I hope the rain doesn t come
And wash me down the gutter

She rides in a car like a queen on a card
And the guns of her mind aim a line
Straight at mine to a heart that was broke
Tried to feel but got choked in the smoke of a desert
A beach with no treasure
A night that s so blue
Feed the aching in you and the background
Birds take a flight from the earth
Where the bonfire burns and the night
Current turns on a lifeboat floating
Down a river of sleep
I can t see her hollow eyes
I m walkin along with my boots full of rocks
I can t believe these tears were mine
I ll give them to you to put away in a box

Something always takes the place of
Missing pieces you can take and put
Together even though
You know there s something missing
Something always missing always
Someone missing something
