I Think I Lost Something

I think I lost something you gave to me

But I don't remember what it was

There's an empty spot that could be filled

And I can't seem to fill it

If you tell me what I'm looking for

I'll look closer than I did before

And I'll try harder than I did before

To make the picture complete

Describe its shape and size to me

Was it something I carried around?

Was it like a book or radio?

Or was it alive and breathing?

I don't want to look like I'm foolish

But I don't want to care, either

I might be a little misguided

But I know something's gone

I wish that I could take away

This gnawing sense of loss

Boundless freedom can't erase

This trap I've drawn around me

I worry over nothing

And ignore what's really important

I know I'm a little excited

But that's just what I mean
