the other side of D...my life in private

i miss you

they say it happens naturally
if that's true there must be something wrong with me
why does it take so long to feel affection
maybe i'm looking in the opposite direction
if i close my eyes and listen to the chords
they wrap around me and hold me close
my lids closed tight until they open wide
and i'm not being held anymore

i miss you
not a person
but an idea of you
i miss you
future lover
here's a tune i wrote for you
you

it's hard to find a beacon in a dark
dark garbage dump yard
it's easier to just fall on the first bright light you see
and it's hard to sit alone in here
fantasies swimming around me here
and wonder if you'll ever come to be
and wonder if you're listening to me
and hope that your is that last face that i'll see

i miss you
not a person
but an idea of you
i miss you
future lover
here's a tune i wrote for you
you

i could be sounding sad
a pathetic rendition of
an old faded love song
bound by crying words and melody
i could be screaming hard
into a crowd of people and
they all look just like me
all look just like me
me

i miss you
not a person
but an idea of you
i miss you
future lover
here's a tune i wrote for you
you
