What I Miss Most

It must have been a year since
I was thrown across an ocean far from home
Life is making no sense
Riding in between the highs and lows

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
When I wake in the morning, I
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
It's the first on my mind

Maybe what I miss most
It wasn't made of steel and stone
And maybe what I miss most
It wasn't born of skin and bone
Under the sun, above the waves
Under three crowns when I'm far away
Maybe what I miss most
And maybe I'll never know

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
And maybe you'll never know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Maybe you'll never know

Life beyond the window
I'm jealous of the way that black bird flies
Free among the people
Those quarter million stories pass me by

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Lie awake in the moonlight, I
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
It's the last on my mind

And maybe what I miss most
It wasn't made of steel and stone
And maybe what I miss most
It wasn't born of skin and bone
Under the sun, above the waves
Under three crowns when I'm far away
Maybe what I miss most
And maybe I'll never know

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
And maybe you'll never know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
And maybe you'll never know

I remember at the table
All those faces, where did they go?
I imagine what it looks like
When I'm not there
I remember, every summer
But now the years are just a number
There's no backwards
Time is faster with everything I've left behind, oh

But maybe what I miss most
It wasn't made of steel and stone
And maybe what I miss most
It wasn't born of skin and bone
'Cause under the sun, above the waves
Under three crowns when I'm far away
Maybe what I miss most
And maybe you'll never know

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Maybe you'll never know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
And maybe you'll never know
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
