Missing What We Had

by David Paul   Apr 26, 2008


I come to find I'm happiest when I'm sleeping, cause dreaming 's as close as I want to be to the truth. Without you yesterday repeats everyday.
Remember that party where you got drunk just sipping other peoples drinks, and we slept on the floor next to each other. I woke up with a smile on.
The exact same one I wore when I left that strangers house I ran in hiding from your dad. Oh God he hated me.
You told me not to worry, but I let it kill us like his opinion actually mattered to me.
I dream about the time when I asked you out in front of the waterfall. You asked if I was sure, and I said yes, and we said yes.

And I find myself dreaming of you every night as she paints me blue replays in the background,
If having you kills me it's death I choose,
You and me belong together.

From waiting for your call to writing these new songs and casting out the ones not good enough for you,
It's gotta be perfect... It's gotta be perfect for you.

I remember our first kiss outside the movies. Such a rush to rush from eachother.
My heart was pounding from just a simple peck. It made me shake for days. It made me blush for days.
I wake up to the memories of all our late night phone calls with sunrise goodbyes.
I know I wasn't the best, but I'm the best at what I do when it comes to missing what we had.
You cried, I screamed, and it fell apart with promises of glue stick repairs and glitter paint to make it all better.

And I find myself dreaming of you every night as she paints me blue replays in the background,
If having you kills me it's death I choose,
You and me belong together.

From waiting for you call to writing these new songs and casting out the ones not good enough for you,
It's gotta be perfect... It's gotta be perfect just for you...

I'm losing the battle for your heart,
I'm losing the chance to kiss you good morning and good night,
I'm losing my mind every time your in my dreams,
I'm losing my will to go on without you.
Oh baby please don't leave me, please don't leave, please don't leave me...

This is a desperate attempt to win you back with sucking up and promises included.
There's no purchase needed to claim this prize of a sorry teddy bear.
With catch phrases like, "I love you and miss you," and time to always listen to your problems, late night talks, and cuddling for hours. Anything for you.

And I find myself dreaming of you every night as she paints me blue replays in the background,
If having you kills me it's death I choose,
You and me belong together.

From waiting for your call to writing these new songs and casting out the ones not good enough for you,
It's gotta be perfect... It's gotta be perfect just for you...

I come to find I'm happiest when I'm sleeping, cause dreaming 's as close as I want to be...
