do u miss me? lyrics

[Verse 1]
Do you miss me? Yeah
Tell me, do you miss me?
The movies paint illusions for the fantasizing minds
It turns out all that shines is smoke and mirrors
I spent my savings chasing dreams
But just to come to find
That nothing ever is as it appears
The L.A. sunshine's not that warm
The New York streets are cold and mean
Paris doesn't want you there
And London's not like what you've seen
In movies or in TV shows
They paint a picture framed in chrome
They sell a vision made of gold
And glasses made of plastic rose

[Chorus]
Money, drugs, spilling seed
All the things a man could need
But there's a pit in my stomach
When you're not with me
Adulation, fame, and praise
All the sunshine in L.A
But there's a pit in my stomach
When you're not with me
[Verse 2]
I found myself in crowded rooms
The loneliest in my whole life
I've sat among the brightest starts
But I still haven't seen the light
Pharmacies have pills for pain
Therapists have words for ears
Doctors have those lollipops
But only you can calm my fears
In fancy bars and shrouded rooms
They whisper 'til your eardrums bleed
They tickle all your fantasies
But they can never get you what you need
The boring Tuesdays on the couch
The quiet Sundays in the park
The Farmer's Market Saturdays
Just take me where you are

[Chorus]
Money, drugs, spilling seed
All the things a man could need
But there's a pit in my stomach
When you're not with me (Ohh)
Adulation, fame, and praise
All the sunshine in L.A
But there's a pit in my stomach
When you're not with me (Ohh)
[Bridge]
Do you miss me like I miss you?
Am I standing in your windshield, or am I in your rearview?
Said, "Do you miss me like I miss you?"
Am I standing in your windshield, or am I in your rearview?

[Chorus]
Money, drugs, spilling seed
All the things a man could need
But there's a pit in my stomach
When you're not with me (Ohh)
Adulation, fame, and praise
All the sunshine in L.A
But there's a pit in my stomach
When you're not with me (Woah)

[Outro]
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, do you miss me?)
(Everything else is for the birds)
Money, drugs, spilling seed
All the things one man could need
But there's a pit in my stomach
When you're not with me
Adulation, fame, and praise
All the sunshine in L.A
But there's a pit in my stomach
When you're not with me
