lyrics

I only miss you when I’m breathing
I’d miss you if I’d never seen your face before
And if I’d met you in another lifetime
I’d still be at your door

I miss the way you used to tell it
And the way they’d hang on every word you’d say
Cos no one else worked a room quite like you
And now it’s not the same

I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more

Sometimes we’d go and smell the roses
And other days we’d gravitate towards the shore
Finding clever ways to reinvent you
So five will never be a four

I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more

There’s ink on your fingertips
Stings on your river grips
When I’m alone in the night is the time I ignite all the sad thoughts of you
And the memories too
And the sound of your voice from the answerphone tone
A tiny reminder of where I belong

I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
I couldn’t miss you any more
