Baby you're missing something in the air
                        I got a name but it don't matter
                       What's going on, it's cold in here
                     You have a life but it's torn and tattered

                    Maybe you're losing pieces of your heart
                     You have a world but it stopped turning
                      You lose the day and gain the dark
                     Love was a fire but it stopped burning

                       Spare your heart, save your soul
                     Don't drag your love across the coals
                   Find your feet and your fortune can be told
                           Release, relax, let go 
                      And hey now let's recover your soul

                       Lazy old sunset sinking like a tear
                        Alone at night in a losing battle
                       That perfect world is never clear
                    You have to fight for the things that matter
