Harder days make it easier to call you
I let myself give up
Step on solid ground enough to drown the thought of
What I don't wanna think of right now
I give in to your sense of direction
So you can walk all over me
I can't accept your offer for protection
But I don't wanna think about that
There's no point trying to trace my old tracks
I always love you most before you leave
These days I find myself wishing you
You were here asleep, head on my knees,
I'm writing songs about missing you
But it don't feel like
I'm missing paradise
When I'm missing you
I think back to that night in Arizona
Hot as hell but your air has kept me colder
Throw in the towel I'll find a place to watch it fall
But I don't wanna talk about that
I forgot how to forge my own path
I always love you most before you leave
These days I find myself wishing you
You were here asleep, head on my knees,
I'm writing songs about missing you
But it don't feel like
I'm missing paradise
When I'm missing you
I stop myself from reading all of your old letters
Same boat but we're facing different weather
Are you okay
I'll be okay
Hold my breath and count myself to sleep
Or else I feel you in another room
One I'll leave you in my dreams
And get hung up on someone new
I always love you most before you leave
These days I find myself wishing you
You were here asleep, head on my knees
I'm writing songs about missing you
But it don't feel like
I'm missing paradise
No it don't feel like
I'm missing paradise
When I'm missing you
