lyrics

The furnace is cold and the faucet leaks.
The light in the garage has been out for a week.
Unspeakable valleys and unreachable peaks.

I have never been one to stick with my kind,
Time on my hands and spin misaligned.
If I here that song again I'm gonna lose my mind.

'Can't believe what I put you through,
But I really don't want someone new.
It's what I do when I miss you.
It's what I do when I miss you.
It's what I do when I miss you.

Do you head for the hills at a hint of risk?
Bait the local cops into a stop and frisk?
I'll sell you a t-shirt and a compact disc.

There's the persistent need to catch a stranger's eye,
Wishing everyone around would want to watch you cry.
The constant headaches and the frequent wishes to die.

'Can't believe what I put you through,
But I really don't want someone new.
It's what I do when I miss you.
It's what I do when I miss you.
It's what I do when I miss you.

We will say things to make each other angry,
Do things we know we'll both regret,
Break things we can't put back together.

'Can't believe what I put you through,
But I really don't want someone new.
It's what I do when I miss you.
