[Verse 1]
All is quiet. His tired eyes
See figures jotted down
And clothes all strewn around the bedroom floor
Now nothing's adding up
And nothing's making sense
She's sleeping like a baby
She doesn't know he wasn't meant for this

[Chorus]
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war all night
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war all night
I'm missing the war

[Verse 2]
He drove home again, pissed and beaten
It's really no big deal
It happens all the time, it's no big deal

[Chorus]
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war, oh my
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war, oh my
I'm missing the war
[Bridge]
'Til beads of sunlight hit me in the morning
So much time, so little to say

[Verse 3]
Time may fly and dreams may die
The shaking voice that tells him "go"
Still thinks he might; he knows he won't

[Chorus]
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war, oh my
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war
I'm missing the war, oh my
I'm missing the war
