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.
