[Verse 1]

I never felt the ache of being alone, never sensed an empty space inside myself

Never felt the urge to fill a void with the presence of someone else

But you uncovered a feeling inside of me, unfamiliar and unique

Created a vacancy within where one never used to be


[Chorus]

Dear absentee, dear missing piece

I've missed you since the day we met

Dear truant friend, dear tune stuck in my head

That I can't forget


[Verse 2]

A lost memory, an errant wish, you were a missing limb

Every morning I had to wake up and realize you were gone all over again

An unfinished sentence, an interrupted thought, a name on the tip of my tongue

An unsent letter, an unopened book, a lyric left unsung


[Chorus]

Dear absentee, dear missing piece

I've missed you since the day we met (The day we met)

Dear truant friend, dear tune stuck in my head

Dear you


[Bridge]

I've got these feelings inside

Somehow I always knew you'd understand

They've been laying dormant for a lifetime

I'm waking up for the first time

Love

Love

Love

Love


[Outro]

I'm waking up for the first time

I'm waking up for the first time

I'm waking up for the first time

I'm waking up for the first time
