Lyrics

When I'm out here on the trail
And I'm staying in a standard room
There ain't nothing I can do
I could use a loving word from you
But you never ring my phone
I am totally alone

Our hearts just keep on spitting
Our souls just keep on drifting
This is a lie we're living
Something's missing

When you're sick at 6:00AM
And you need someone to make up breakfast
I'm already wearing ???
Picking out the things on my checklist
You feel emptiness inside
And the tears fall from your eyes

This is a lie we're living
Our souls just keep on drifting
Who do we think we're kidding?
Something's missing

...

This is ...
Our hearts just keep on drifting
Who do we think we're kidding?
Something's missing
...
Who do we...
Who do we think we are kidding?
Something's missing
???

Out here on the road, chillin' in my room
Flippin' through the channels, nothin' much to do
I could give some love, but you never hit my cell
I can see that it's already half past twelve
So what am I gonna' do?
Call up a creeper, ask if I can see her, take her to the zoo?
I'm a healthy American man; understand I got needs
And I ain't just talking about nuzzling (???)

Something's missing
Something's missing, whoa
Something's missing
Something's missing
And I better get used to it
Something's missing
I thought that I'd have more
But it turns out that's all there is
Something's missing
I thought that I'd feel more
But it turns out that's all there is
