Missing Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, I wish I was your favourite
Your creator is the all-seeing alpha
The dogs who love the drama mama
She's in the kitchen, best believe in that
She's cooking up a real storm for you
Traditional mixture

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's got their own idea
Of right and wrong with arms wide open
Everybody's got their own idea
Of right and wrong
The ones who get broken

[Chorus]
I worry that one day you'll go missing
And who will notice when you're gone?
I bet I'll call you farther from afar
And break the news that you have vanished
Like a star

[Verse 2]
On account of your behaviour
As a saviour, you're a real life-giver
The one who pays fiver lines are
In the kitchen a real mister with that jacket on
The girls all cooking
The ones you've been provoking
[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody's got their own idea
Of right and wrong with arms wide open
Everybody's got their own idea
Of right and wrong
The ones who get broken

[Chorus]
I worry that one day you'll go missing
And who will notice when you're gone?
I bet I'll call you farther from afar
And break the news that you have vanished
Like a star

[Bridge]
Everybody's got their own idea
Of right and wrong with arms wide open
Love to see you happy again
With a love beside you
A house full of friends
But we are what we are
This life has no end
And we're breaking apart
There's a long road ahead

[Chorus]
I worry that one day you'll go missing
And who will notice when you're gone?
I bet I'll call you farther from afar
And break the news that you have vanished
Like a star

Genius Answer

We wrote this song but I was doing spoken word over the top. That did not make the record because it was just ridiculous. But then we took it and then made something a bit more in the world of London Grammar.
