Some Things Missing Songtext
von Hideout

Something that I thought I was missing
Something that I thought I could find in you
It was nothing I could taste, or touch, or call to
Nothing that I know by any name
But then again, maybe I′d seen it, maybe I held it
I felt it passing me by
Staring in the shadows
Lying awake as they dance
On the ceiling all night
Oh it's something that I thought I was missing
Something that I thought I would find in you


Time, oh they say it takes time
But things are just so different
Since the divide
Every whisper in the night
I will take as a sign
That you′re there in the dark
Girl you are just out of sight
So I'm reaching out and I'm fumbling
To turn on the lights
And the days keep rolling on
Yeah the days keep rolling by

And the youngest visits a lot
We sit and we talk
She′s living in the city now
And man she′s all grown up
But we don't say what we want
And we just say that it′s fine
Yes and everything is fine
Oh and it'll be alright
I′m just thinking about life
Got me thinking bout the fight
How I need you on my side
Will you please stay by my side
And we deal in our ways


I find myself lost
Just a few blocks from my place
Having conversations in a daze
I didn't recognize an old friend
With the lines on her face
Now I′m passing out with my clothes on
I'm staying up too late
We all get in some bad habits
Well I'm sleeping in your jacket

Sometimes I think I′m dreaming
Or maybe I′m just seeing things
Last night I found a blue rock
Drifting in some green sand
And as I held it to my ear
I could hear it whispering
And it wasn't just your voice
But the things you used to say
And my last words were
"Hey man, it will get better"

Now we say it to ourselves
Every morning in the mirror
As I′m holding onto this blue rock
And smashing the reflection up
It looks kind of like a spiderweb
All tangled in bad luck
And I see the webs we weave
And I'm getting tangled up

Yeah I′m getting taken back
To a rainy night in Bordeaux
In the company of friends
I will stay on the road
And around we all go
With no vision and no end
And the years will roll on by
And everything is fine

I'm just thinking bout time
And they say it takes time
Things are just so different
Since the divide
Every whisper in the night
I will take as a sign
That you′re there in the dark
Girl you are just out of sight
So I'm reaching out
And I'm fumbling to turn on the light
And the days keep rolling on
Yeah the days keep rolling by

And the youngest visits a lot
We sit and we talk
She′s living in the city now
Man she′s so grown up
But we don't say what we want
And we just say that it′s fine
Everything is fine
