Harder days make it easier to call you,
  I let myself give up.
  Step on solid ground enough to drown the thought of. 
What I don't wanna think of right now.
 
[Verse 2]
  I give in to your sense of direction
  and you can walk all over me.
  So, I can't accept your offer for protection
but I don't wanna think about that.
There's no point trying to trace my old   tracks.
 
[Chorus]
I always love you   most before you leave,
these days I find myself wishing you.
You were here asleep, head on my knees,
I'm writing songs about missing you.
But it don't feel like I'm missing paradise
when I'm missing you.
 
 
[Verse 3]
  I think back to that night in Arizona,
  hot as hell but your hair has kept me colder.
  Throw in the towel I'll find a place to watch it fall
but I don't wanna talk about that.
I forgot how to forge my own   path.
 
[Chorus]
I always love you most before you leave,
these days I find myself wishing you.
You were here asleep, head on my knees,
I'm writing songs about missing you.
But it don't feel like I'm missing paradise
when I'm missing you.
 
 
[Bridge]
  I catch myself from reading all of your old letters,
  same boat but we're facing different weather.
Are you okay?
I'll be okay.
 
[End-Chorus]
Hold my breath and count myself to sleep
or else I feel you in another room.
One I'll leave you in my dreams
and get hung up on someone new.
 
I always love you most before you leave,
these days I find myself wishing you.
You were here asleep, head on my knees,
I'm writing songs about missing you.
  
But it don't feel like I'm missing paradise,
no, it don't feel like I'm missing paradise
when I'm missing you.
