never goes away

I miss you like hot rain
Like red dirt
Like a river
I miss you like sweet tea
Like sunshine on my shoulders
Like tangerine
You've left me with a gift
Or a curse some would say
It sticks to me like honey
And it's always changing shape
Sometimes it is a sickness
That covers everything
There are days where I don't see it
But it never goes away
It never goes away
It never goes away
It never goes away
I may never know the reason
There is no way around the changing of the seasons
All December sinking at your ankles
Summertime and you're a stranger
But you're still in every room
No getting rid of you
I've known it from the moment that you
Left me with a gift
Or a curse some would say
It sticks to me like honey
And it's always changing shape
Sometimes it is a sickness
That covers everything
There are days where I don't see it
But it never, it never goes away
It never goes away
The sky, the sand
The hotel lobby
On my skin and in my body
Dry cough, candy, cinnamon
Hell and back just to forget
Your laugh, your touch
Your skin, your body
Sand and sky
The hotel lobby
Day by day it turns to gray but
It never goes away
Mm, mm
It never goes away
It never goes
