Lyrics

The Missing

[Verse 1]

Open up my thoughts

Oh tell me if you see

Some meaning

Oh take me all apart

Oh so that I can see

The pieces

And I could walk for miles

And on every street

Is the same scene

Follow the telephone wire

Until I feel this air

Beneath me

[Chorus]

Oh and if you don't mind

Would you show to me the missing?

Oh with my weak eyes

I would only see the missing

[Verse 2]

Open up my thoughts

Oh tell me if you see

Some meaning

Oh take me all apart

So that I can see

The bleeding

[Chorus]

Oh and if you don't mind

Oh could you show to me the missing?

Oh with my weak eyes

I would only see the missing

The missing

The missing

The missing

The missing

The missing

[Outro]

And I would understand

(I would understand)

If you show to me

The missing

And I could understand

(I could understand)

If you showed to me

The missing

And I would understand

(I'd understand)

If you show to me

The missing
