Saying things I can't hear
A missing person's in the window
Staring at me
Haven't seen them in years
[Verse 3]
First things first
Second in command

Everybody's staring straight at me
You spend it all chasing those lies
I don't really wanna take that chance
I don't really wanna do that dance
I don't know what to do till you say
Oh, I don't wanna let you go
But I can't keep holding on
Skies of silver, stars of gold
And now you know just what you like
[Bridge]
So far this love is all I have
So far this hurt is all I have
[Outro]
Missing person at the window
Missing person at the window
Missing person at the window
Missing person at the window
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you are
I wonder where you...
