Missing the War (Live Royal Albert Hall, London, UK, 12/14/99) - Ben Folds

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 baaaa)

I'm missing the war all night

(ba ba ba baaaa)

missing the war

(ba ba ba baaaa)

I'm missing the war

(aaaaaahh aaaaahhhh aaaahhhh)

(aaaaaahh aaaaahhhh)

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 baaaa)

I'm missing the war all night

(ba ba ba baaaa)

missing the war

(ba ba ba baaaa)

I'm missing the war

'til beads of sunlight hit me in the morning

so much

time, so

little to say

time may fly

(time may fly)

and dreams may die

(aaaaaahhhhh)

the shaking voice

that tells him, "go"

still thinks he might

he knows he won't

I'm missing the war

(ba ba ba baaaa)

I'm missing the war all night

(ba ba ba baaaa)

missing the war

(ba ba ba baaaa)

I'm missing the war, oh...

missing the war

I'm missing the war
