Words get tangled on your tongue
When you stumble on your tea
When you miss somebody
And everywhere you think you see him
Walking down the street
When you miss somebody
Oh yeah
Yeah when you miss somebody
Tell yourself a hundred thousand times
Nobody ever lives forever
So you give it one more try
To wave goodbye
To wave goodbye

Every hurtful thing you ever said
Is ringing in your ears
When you miss somebody
And every thing of beauty that you see
Only brings a tear
When you miss somebody
Oh
Yeah when you miss somebody
You tell yourself that everything will be alright
Try to stand real strong babe
Oh and all you wanna do
Is lay down and die
How long I've waited for this normal sign
Lonely and weary from this troubled task of time
Wave goodbye

So now you stop to recognize
That every single fact you see
Leads to a tear in your eye
So wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
