Missed You Again

I’d do anything to be your perfect girl

To be ready when you’re ready

To be a woman when you need one

And a child when you you want to play

I want to heal you when you’re broken

And make you laugh when the world’s just too much

But i’m never gonna be just right

I’m always gonna be five years too early or too late

Never so far away that you can’t find me

But always just out of space and time

I’m exactly what you need and you know it

I know it too but we’re out of sync

We’re always miles or decades out of sway

There have been lives when we were just right

When our love is the stuff of legend

Our story is written in the stars

But mostly we miss each other

We become the tragedy we talked about

All those lives ago, don’t say you forgot

We have always done this dance

We laid on bearskin rugs in persia

And talked about how souls would always collide

But you’ve watched me burn alive

And i’ve seen you drown in the light

I know you think i left you alone in this time

But please believe i’m so lonely

I’m staring out the window at the moon and i beg

That you know that i’m here praying too

And this isn’t our first dance with loneliness

But everytime feels like the first time

When you know your other half is out there

Slowly spinning out into stardust

And i’m helpless to save you this time

Do you remember when this was you

Watching me while you thought you had to stand still

When your heart was telling you to find me

But your body was trapped through and true

In the wrong time and the wrong place
