How to Miss You

It's nice having someone to miss until you miss them
You're fine when it feels like bliss until you leave them

Goodbye doesn't quite sink in
Til the house leaves the rearview

I'm not lonely, I'm just learning how to miss you
Tried to shake it but your name won't disappear
Like a song in the back of my mind
I see your face when I close my eyes
But I'm not lonely, I'm just learning how to miss you

It's easy to walk away until you get home
Talking about your day over the telephone

Goodnight doesn't quite sink in
Til I'm talking to the wall...

I'm not lonely, I'm just learning how to miss you
Tried to shake it but your name won't disappear
Like a song in the back of my mind
I see your face when I close my eyes
But I'm not lonely, I'm just learning how to miss you

Temporary distance
A youthful lack of patience
The present situation's not ideal

I'd call if I could tell you
And wrap my heart in simple words
It's different when you're so far away

I'm not lonely, I'm just learning how to miss you
Tried to shake it but your name won't disappear
Like a song in the back of my mind
I see your face when I close my eyes
But I'm not lonely, I'm just learning how to miss you

I'm not lonely, I'm just learning how to miss you
Tried to shake it but your name won't disappear
Like a song in the back of my mind
I see your face when I close my eyes
But I'm not lonely, I'm just learning how to miss you
