I Miss the Band

Inside joke, well understood
The nudge, nudge, wink, wink
And finishing each other's harmonies
The late night drive through Italian roads
Trains pulling out and we're all in on a secret

Where did you go?
We are a league to be reckoned with
As we run all around the planet

And I miss the band
One plus one equals 50
And I am imploding without you
And there's not a day that goes by
Where I don't hear our music in my head
Where I don't miss travelling in your company

We're on a plane, we're in Japan
In baggage claim, I ask what city we just landed in
And the paper slips under the hotel door
I'm shaking all hands
The hum-of-the-road keeps me happy

Where did you go?
I thought we'd meet at the temple
As we go all around this world

And I miss the band
One plus one equals 50
And I am imploding without you
And there's not a day that goes by
Where I don't hear our music in my head
Where I don't miss adventure in your company

Hugs full of sweat and the late night call in tears
Lights that are blinding, then onto the next country
The ritual huddle as we storm the stage
The sense on the street of this beautiful world

I miss my family, my ears are ringing
The sun streams in on my unmade bed in Portugal

And I miss the band
One plus one equals 50
And I am imploding without you
And there's not a day that goes by
Where I don't hear our music in my head
Where I don't miss the pleasure of your company
