i cant stop looking for pieces of you whether it's the color of the sky and how it matched those soft blue eyes or the smell of something just sitting in the laundry aisle of walmart i still smoke your cigarettes started drinking your american honey slide boots on my feet like i still have a farm to work on and it tears me apart without you i wouldn't of stopped skipping over my least favorite pink floyd song or had the courage to finally switch jobs or felt the love i needed to let you go i cant stop looking for you everywhere the moment i step to my station my eyes constantly scan the walkways hoping to see one of your bright tie dyed shirts pop up praying that one day you'll give me that precious, lopsided smile one more time even though i know the only woman you'll ever want is her i can't even look at my cat without thinking of how you helped me save his life of how you held me even after we broke up because i was afraid he wasn't going to make it through the day i still hold you to the promise that if i die, you can keep him. i look for you in flowers (are dutch irises still your favorite?) and in food (i wonder how long its been since you ordered taco bell) and at the gas station (i wonder if your new truck uses less gas than your old one) and even as i pass a little small town store (do you still eat those stupid eggs?) it hurts my soul to wear my purple work shirt, but i do it anyways, it was my favorite color before i met you, you loving it just made it more beautiful. i can't go to my favorite coffee shop anymore it reminds me of how we had meant to have our first date there like i said, i look for you everywhere it kills me im trying to move on but there's a light on in your room in my heart and i can't seem to flip the switch. why did we have to be so similar? why are you everywhere?

Looking For You
i cant stop looking for pieces of you whether it's the color of the sky and how it matched those soft blue eyes or the smell of something just sitting in the laundry aisle of walmart i still smoke your cigarettes started drinking your american honey slide boots on my feet like i still have a farm to work on and it tears me apart without you i wouldn't of stopped skipping over my least favorite pink floyd song or had the courage to finally switch jobs or felt the love i needed to let you go i cant stop looking for you everywhere the moment i step to my station my eyes constantly scan the walkways hoping to see one of your bright tie dyed shirts pop up praying that one day you'll give me that precious, lopsided smile one more time even though i know the only woman you'll ever want is her i can't even look at my cat without thinking of how you helped me save his life of how you held me even after we broke up because i was afraid he wasn't going to make it through the day i still hold you to the promise that if i die, you can keep him. i look for you in flowers (are dutch irises still your favorite?) and in food (i wonder how long its been since you ordered taco bell) and at the gas station (i wonder if your new truck uses less gas than your old one) and even as i pass a little small town store (do you still eat those stupid eggs?) it hurts my soul to wear my purple work shirt, but i do it anyways, it was my favorite color before i met you, you loving it just made it more beautiful. i can't go to my favorite coffee shop anymore it reminds me of how we had meant to have our first date there like i said, i look for you everywhere it kills me im trying to move on but there's a light on in your room in my heart and i can't seem to flip the switch. why did we have to be so similar? why are you everywhere?
