missing

it's been exactly a week
and i can't catch a wink of sleep
cause every time i close my eyes
all i see is you

i've got seven days and counting
since i gave you up for good
well, you know
detox is astounding
my head is pounding
and i'd relapse if i could
if i could...

and all my friends think i'm crazy
they all think i've lost my mind
cause i follow you around
this whole backward town
one gay bar at a time
out of time
seems like i'm always out of time...

well, i'd like to show up at your front door
just to see the look on your face
say, "i know i shouldn't be here...
and i should turn around...
but i feel so out of place...
when i'm missing you"

cause i like to watch you when you're sleeping
i like the way you sing off-key
you know, i love the dirty things that you say to me in bed
grinding up against me

and i'd like to help you make your mind up
point it out so you can see
hey, these things happen for a reason
hey, it might be treason
hey, either way
you're falling for me
look at you - falling for me...

and you know -
i'd give up the garden of eden
just to taste the fruit from your tree
oh, if loving you is wrong
i don't wanna be right
let them exile me

oh!

remember when i used to say...
"don't... think... about your boyfriend tonight!
just stay here with me!
and we... could.. bend the rules a little more...
have ourselves a peek...
and we... could... go to our favorite place
right beneath the sheets
and we'd stay there for hours
playing x-rated hide and seek!"

yeah, i wonder where you are now
and if i ever cross your mind
i hope you don't regret me
if you're trying to forget me
well, i won't think that unkind
and i hope he changes for the better
yeah, i hope this time he's mister right
and you could scream it from the rafters
"happy ever after!"
but i'll be missing you...
tonight
