Missing the War - Ben Folds Five

All is quiet

His tired eyes

See figures jotted down

And clothes all strewn around the bedroom floor

Now nothing’s adding up

And nothing’s making sense

She’s sleeping like a baby

She doesn’t know he wasn’t meant for this

I’m missing the war (ba ba ba ba)

I’m missing the war all night (ba ba ba ba)

Missing the war (ba ba ba ba)

I’m missing the war (ahh)

He drove home again

Pissed and beaten

It’s really no big deal

It happens all the time

It’s no big deal

I’m missing the war (ba ba ba ba)

I’m missing the war all night (ba ba ba ba)

Missing the war (ba ba ba ba)

I’m missing the war

Till beads of sunlight hit me in the morning

So much time, so little to say

Time may fly

And dreams may die

The shaking voice that tells him go

Still thinks he might

He knows he won’t

I’m missing the war (ba ba ba ba)

I’m missing the war all night (ba ba ba ba)

Missing the war (ba ba ba ba)

I’m missing the war (ahh)

(Ahh)

Missing the war (ahh)

Missing the war (ahh)
