I miss you when you’re next to me
And you’re too far away to touch
When your elbow is his elbow’s companion
Your smile his smile’s partner
My best efforts work to keep me from breaking
Another rock rolls up the hill

Another rock rolls up the hill
I miss you when you’re far from me
And here, you’re too close to my heart to forget
Your is figure my mind’s default
My best efforts work to keep me from breaking
When your laugh is still ringing through me

When your mind is my mind’s ex-lover
Another rock rolls up the hill
I miss you when I look at you
Your heart my heart’s tease
And you do smile without your eyes
My best efforts work to keep me from breaking

My best efforts work to keep me from breaking
When I have to look in the other direction
And my pain is censored to avoid complications
Another rock rolls up the hill
I miss you when you’re not what you were
Your eyes don’t connect, and I am hidden

Your intoxication makes fools of both of us
When your wantonness is my resolve’s downfall
I can miss you when we’re separated by vapour
My best efforts work to keep me from breaking
Another rock rolls up the hill
And you kiss me, drunk on distance

And I know you’d understand exactly
Your outrage my opinion’s mirror
Another rock rolls up the hill
My best efforts work to keep me from breaking
When your thoughts are my thoughts
I miss you when our connection doesn't falter

Another month, and maybe it’ll be easier
I can’t breathe sometimes, after your eyes meet mine
My life shouldn't still collapse when you walk in the room
