I miss you around this place

In the dead of the night
I thought I felt your touch and looked to see your face
Everything is all right
But I admit that I miss you around this place

Can you hear what I say
I catch a glimpse from the corner of my eye
I never was one to pray
But I pray to you looking up at the sky

So do you think it will rain
Do you think it will open up and cry
And don’t you think that it’s strange
That the world goes on after we die

I can see the attraction
To a god and an endless afterlife
A chemical reaction
I’m not a candle you blow out in the night

But I can not understand
I once was able to reconcile with change
Our dreams and all of our plans
Is this the substance of all that now remains

So tell me what did you say
Do you remember discussions that we had
It’s like a scene from a play
I only remember the good, forget the bad

And do you think it will rain
Do you think it will open up and cry
And don’t you think that it’s strange
That the world goes on after we die

Tell me do you think it will rain
Do you think it will open up the sky
And don’t you think that it’s strange
We never had a chance to say goodbye
