lyrics
When you're in love, it always seems ubiquitous
Then when you're out, the feeling never sticks with us
At least, not enough
You can't recall the feeling that you know you miss
Missing itself's the only thing that still persists
So let's reminisce
Poor thing, you poor, poor thing
Look at you, you little sad sack
Someday this won't seem bad at all
Nuzzle your face into mine
And I will hold you tight
I'll brush the hair out of your eyes
And then I'll tuck you in for the night
You poor, poor thing
It's been a while since you were out there on your own
The size of your sighs and groans has grown now you're alone
With the dial tone
Talk to me as we tour your old familiar haunts
Make me a list of all you'll miss now that she's gone
Cry if you want
Poor thing, you poor, poor thing
Look at you, you little sad sack
Someday this won't seem bad at all
Nuzzle your face into mine
And I will hold you tight
I'll brush the hair out of your eyes
And then I'll tuck you in for the night
You poor, poor thing
Then when you're out, the feeling never sticks with us
At least, not enough
You can't recall the feeling that you know you miss
Missing itself's the only thing that still persists
So let's reminisce
Poor thing, you poor, poor thing
Look at you, you little sad sack
Someday this won't seem bad at all
Nuzzle your face into mine
And I will hold you tight
I'll brush the hair out of your eyes
And then I'll tuck you in for the night
You poor, poor thing
It's been a while since you were out there on your own
The size of your sighs and groans has grown now you're alone
With the dial tone
Talk to me as we tour your old familiar haunts
Make me a list of all you'll miss now that she's gone
Cry if you want
Poor thing, you poor, poor thing
Look at you, you little sad sack
Someday this won't seem bad at all
Nuzzle your face into mine
And I will hold you tight
I'll brush the hair out of your eyes
And then I'll tuck you in for the night
You poor, poor thing
