We sauntered into the poorly-lit store
And looked around lazily
We stole every bit of candy they had inside
Gobbled it all up greedily on our three month ride

And the only love I've ever known burning underneath
[Refrain]
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
[Outro]
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
I'm gonna miss you when you're gone
