lyrics

WHERE R U?

I woke up
late last night
in the middle of a dream
I had been with this amazing person
who's face I'd never seen
I was so pissed off
when I woke up
it was not nice
cuz every touch
& every look
felt just exactly right

Where are you?
Why have you left me
alone as my day begins?
As I lay me down to sleep
can I be with you again?

We don't use words
it's not important
to analyze
or keep a scorecard
We never know
when our time is up
a vague transition
like growing up
Give me please a miracle
some way to cross the line
between the sleep and waking worlds
so I can have you all the time

CHORUS

I used to want
to stay out all night
but now I'd rather sleep
I'm so exhausted
missing you
who's face I never meet
I do not appreciate
this stupid world
it's all mixed up
I look in the mirror
& I want to cry
the truth is now
I realize
I miss you
I miss you

CHORUS, I miss you
