I Miss You

I met you when I was 16, high on life
Back when that was all I needed to feel alive
But you came and changed me, shook something up deep inside
And most nights I turn out the light and it's not that hard
But sometimes I dial up your number cause I still know it by heart

I can't say that I don't miss it
but I can't say that I don't regret it
Cause I do, I do
just not nearly as much as I miss you

We were dancing in the kitchen when we had our first kiss
so in love that we didn't need music
You threw flour at me, I pulled you close in my arms, it was a mess
But it was perfect
I don't wanna spend my life thinking you're the one that got away
When I know damn well there were things
I could've said to make you stay

I can't say that I don't miss it
but I can't say that I don't regret it
Cause I do, I do
just not nearly as much as I miss you

Cause I'm too much like me
and you're too much like you
Darling don't you see why this could never work,
something like me and you?
But I miss noticing the way
that you tug on the buttons of your coat as you walk and
repeatedly take off your sunglasses when you talk
about your mom and your dad and your family
and how some day you hoped that that would be me
but you know that that stuff scares me
so I start a fight and you yell and I cry,
but I miss Sundays spent by the fireplace,
rains falling hard and I'm wrapped in your arms
and we turn on some stupid movie and it takes us 4 hours to finish it
cause we keep stopping to talk.
Anyway.

I can't say that I don't miss it
but I can't say that I don't regret it
Cause I do, I do
just not nearly as much as I miss you
I do, I do
I miss you
I do, I do
I miss you
