Whenever I Miss You

I would tell a thousand lies
Swear each oath
Even knowing otherwise
I would doubt the obvious facts
Betray myself if it lures you back... to me
I would deny the world around me
If this would bring
Me somewhere near you

But you got to give me something
A reason... for coming back to you

Whenever I miss you... All night long
Whenever I miss you... On and on
Only for you I’d stand the shame
If I wouldn’t miss you all the same
Whenever I stay

I would walk a thousand miles
Through torrid days and
Through cold new-moon nights
I would tame the fiercest storm
Every bind that holds me back
I would have torn

I’d even move each mountain aside
If this would bring
Me somewhere near you

But you got to give me something
A reason... for coming back to you

Whenever I miss you... All night long
Whenever I miss you... On and on
I’d conquer the world in your name
If I wouldn’t miss you all the same
Whenever I stay
