I’ve been drinkingwhen I can’t sleep on my own
nothing heavy
no blacked out evenings
just a little something
to take my mind off every night

every night I held somebody
close enough to feel a heart beat
to taste their lips against mine
at the sunrise
I’ve been waking up without someone
for a year by now
and it’s old
I’m ready for something different
not something new
something I miss that
still wakes me up
or keeps me up
and makes me want
to drive
far enough away to find
that smile I can’t get off my mind

I don’t mean to
but I’ve been missing you
though I know you’re set in stone
a life you’ve made your own
I didn’t mean to
but I miss you
although I know
you wouldn’t call me your home
