Good Grief Lyrics

[Intro]
"So, what would you little maniacs like to do first?"

[Refrain]
Watching through my fingers
Watching through my fingers

[Verse 1]
Shut my eyes and count to ten
It goes in one ear out the other, oh
One ear out the other, oh
Burning bright right till the end
Now you'll be missing from the photographs
Missing from the photographs

[Refrain]
Watching through my fingers
Watching through my fingers

[Verse 2]
In my thoughts, you're far away
And you are whistling a melody
Whistling a melody
Crystallising clear as day
Oh, I can picture you so easily
Picture you so easily

[Pre-Chorus]
What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?
What's gonna be left of the world, oh?

[Chorus]
Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Every stumble and each misfire
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

[Refrain]
Watching through my fingers
Watching through my fingers

[Verse 3]
Caught off-guard by your favourite song
Oh, I'll be dancing at a funeral
Dancing at a funeral
Sleeping in the clothes you love
It's such a shame we had to see them burn
Shame we had to see them burn

[Pre-Chorus]
What's gonna be left of the world if you're not in it?
What's gonna be left of the world, oh?

[Chorus]
Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Every stumble and each misfire
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

[Interlude]
"If you want to be a party animal, you have to learn to live in the jungle
Now stop worrying and go, get dressed"

[Bridge]
You might have to excuse me
I've lost control of all my senses
And you might have to excuse me
I've lost control of all my words
So get drunk, call me a fool
Put me in my place, put me in my place
Pick me up, up off the floor
Put me in my place, put me in my place

[Chorus]
Every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
Every stumble and each misfire
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more

[Refrain]
Watching through my fingers
Watching through my fingers

[Outro]
Cause every minute and every hour
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you more
