How Can I Miss You

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

If we'd have 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 Velero 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 runs 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?
