Paul Westerberg Something In My Life Is Missing lyrics

Had a dollar in his pocket
Tag inside his new used suit
Felt like a faggot Davy Crocket
Never learned to take orders or salute

He's as thin as his checkbook
But he could pass for a movie star
All the while he had that wrecked look
Best looking man in the whole wide bar

Be my best friend - I ain't seen him in a while

Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing him by a mile

He writes like a Midwestern Shakespeare
In a tiny perfect hand
It doesn't so much as move you as breaks your fall
When you decide to land

Be my best friend - I ain't seen you in a while

Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing

Something in my life is missing him by a mile

You sit there in dead silence
You've got a friend who's real and true
No idle conversation
We roll along smokin' to the blues

Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing you by a mile

He paints houses for the money
He should get paid just to wake up
Weaving magic tricks together
Getting sick from drinking from the same cup

Love doesn't always wear a stupid smile

Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing
Something in my life is missing him by a mile
Something in my life is missing him by a mile
