I wanna be the shadow when you walk around,
I wanna be the soles of your shoes when your feet touch the ground.
I wanna be the rain that covers your skin,
I wanna be the reason that you laughin'
But I dont want miles between us,
I just cant stand the thought of,
You being there makes my whole body ache,
When it comes to missing you,
I dont have what it takes.
I wanna be the glass when you take a sip,
At least then I know I'll get to touch your lips.
I wanna be the promise,
You promised you'd keep.
I wanna be the postcard I send you to read.
But I dont want miles between us,
I just cant stand the thought of,
You being there makes my whole body ache.
When it comes to missing you,
I dont have what it takes.
No I don't!
Cuz all I have to hold is this picture,
With lovewords written on the back,
So baby dont you worry,
Well fix all that.
Cuz I dont want miles between us,
I just cant stand the thought of,
You being there makes my whole body ache.
When it comes to missing you,
When it comes to missing you,
When it comes to missing you,
I dont have what it takes.
