I missed you and I missed the coast,
It's been a long time since I hit the road.
On rented trucks and lagging trains
I missed the times when these dreams were dreamt.
I missed you so bad I gave you a different name in every song.
I missed you, yeah, at almost every airport of the world.
I missed you.
I fell for a song and then got caught.
Me just a kid, how was I supposed to know?
These uptown girls all look the same,
how could I have known, oh, it would turn out this way?
I missed you so bad I gave you a different name in every song.
I missed you, yeah, at almost every airport of the world.
I missed you.
Standing at a crossroads in Köln;
passing through Nagoya, Japan;
in the streets of Paris for the 1st of May, I missed you all along.
Think of all the landings I've been through,
hotel rooms I never got to use,
so many nights out on the road, I missed you most of all.
Yeah, I missed you.
Learning is a tough one, my boy.
Don't expect any shortcuts, there’s none.
Be careful what you wish for,
it might become true someday.
Someday.
