And I’ve been meaning to tell you I’m at the end of my tether
I don’t know if it’s loneliness or a change in the weather
But I’ve been missing your hands, I’ve been missing your bones
And I’ve been singing old songs to remind me of home
I quit that dead end job before it even began
Guess I wasn’t cut out to be a salesman
Anger and idleness led me astray,
And I never blamed you for leaving me that way
And I’ve been meaning to tell you I’ve been falling apart
I don’t know if it’s my health or my broken heart
But I’ve been missing your voice, I’ve been missing your chords
And I’ve been singing it’s all the comfort I can afford
Well I moved to the coast with what little I had
Couldn’t handle a job joined a rock n band
To make life shine I worked to the bone
Careless and wired with the road for a home
But my thoughts they kept turning back to me and you
Where it is that you’re sleeping, what it is that you do
I was raised to never get in too deep
Still I feel your absence - whether I’m awake or asleep
Whether I’m awake or asleep
And I’ve been meaning to tell you that I aint as good as I might have said
The measure of myself doesn’t meet the ideal held in my head
I’ve been missing your calmness I’ve been missing your kind
And I’ve been singing these old old songs for a little peace of mind
I lived my whole life like I had no hope
Rebels and cowboys were my heroes
Suppose I was always out of touch
Does everything mean something or nothing much?
And I’ve been meaning to tell you and I wont lie
I realise how I hurt you and why you quit tryin’
I just wanted to tell you I’ve been hurting to
And when I get where I’m going I’ll wait there for you
