the guy who put his hands on you
has got nothing to do with me
and the bruises that you feel will heal
and i hope you'll come around
'cause we're missing you
and you used to speak so easy
now you're afraid to talk to me
it's like walking with the wounded
carrying that weight way too far
the concrete pulled you down so hard
out there with the wounded
missing you
well i never claimed to understand what happens after dark
but my fingers catch sparks at the thought of touching you
when you're wounded
let me break it down 'till i force the issue
we miss your face and you know i wish you
would come back down the the dalva bar
you tell 'em
that's just my battle scar
i want to kiss you
and knock 'em down like we used to
you're the marigold
till you're walking down shaking that ass again
and then you walk on
baby walk on
you walk on
on and on
you're an angel in the pit with her hands in the air
and we're missing you
now it's fall
and your shoulders get tighter
nervous flicks on the lighter
boots
your pissed off poets
your women's groups
and the friends with you
we should have known this fool
well i guess we missed the mark
still my fingers catch the sparks at the thought of them touching you
now you're wounded
let me break it down 'till i force the issue
you never come around
and you know we miss you
well nobody took your pride away
i said
that's something people say
back down the bully to the back of the bus
'cause it's time for them to be scared of us
'till you're yelling
how we living cause you got the ball
then you rock on baby
rock on
you rock on
on and on
you're a summer time hottie with her socks in the air
you're screaming i don't care baby i don't care
you say you don't know
you say you can't grow
all i know is we're missing you
you say you don't know
you say you can't grow
all i know is we're missing you
