It must have been a year since I was thrown across an ocean far from home And I was making oceans Riding in between the highs and lows Ooh, when I wake in the morning Ooh, it's the first on my mind Maybe what I miss most It wasn't made of steel and stones Maybe what I miss most It wasn't born of skin and bone Under the sun, up on the waves Under three climbs when I'm far away Maybe what I miss most Maybe you'll never know Maybe you'll never know Maybe you'll never know Life beyond the window I'm jealous of the way the black bird flies Free among the people Those quarter million stories pass me by Ooh, lie awake in the moonlight Ooh, it's the last on my mind And maybe what I miss most It wasn't made of steel and stone Maybe what I miss most It wasn't born of skin and bone Under the sun, above the waves Under three climbs and I'm far away Maybe what I miss most Maybe you'll never know Maybe you'll never know Maybe you'll never know I remember, at the table All those faces, where did they go? I imagine how it looks like When I'm not there I remember every summer But now that years are just a number There's no backwards Time is faster with everything I've left behind, oh But maybe what I miss most It wasn't made of steel and stone Maybe what I miss most It wasn't born of skin and bone 'Cause under the sun, above the waves Under three climbs and I'm far away Maybe what I miss most Maybe you'll never know Maybe you'll never know Maybe you'll never know
