Straight to the Bone Lyrics

I′m staring at this empty chair
Listening for the laughter that went clear up to the ceiling
It's so long since you were sitting there
And now the rust is rusting and the paint is peeling

I miss you

I read your letters and I almost break
They′re warm like flannel
I can still smell your aftershave

I don't spend all my time missing you like this
But when it hits, it hits

You felt like home
And I feel you now straight to the bone
I miss you

This sure can be a lonely place
I wanna look up and see you there standing in the doorway
And I'd give anything to kiss your face
And help you blow out the candles on your next birthday

You felt like home
I feel you now straight to the bone
I miss you

I wanna hear you in the kitchen making noise
Singing out of tune at the top of your voice

I wear these memories, it′s a blessing and a curse
′Cause when it hurts, it hurts

You felt like home
And I feel you now straight to the bone
