Words get tangled on your tongue

And you stumble on your feet when you miss somebody

And everywhere you think you see them

Walking down the street when you miss somebody

When you miss somebody you tell yourself

a hundred thousand times

Nobody ever lives forever so you give it one more try

To wave goodbye wave goodbye

Every hurtful thing you ever said is ringing in your ear

When you miss somebody

And every thing of beauty that you see only brings a tear

When you miss somebody

When you miss somebody you tell yourself everything

will be alright

Try to stand up strong and brave when all you want to do

Is lay down and die

How long I've waited for an answer or a sign

Lonely and weary from this troubled task of trying

To wave goodbye

So now you start to recognize that every single path you see

Leads to a tear in your eye

So wave goodbye wave goodbye
