I  remember the first  time I saw  you
 You were drifting  down Crouse Avenue
You  looked like a hot-country-Vermont,
 though my eyes  were never that good.
 (same chords repeat through next verses)
 Your head seemed to hold itself up high
 on that long thin neck of yours
 You glanced back, although we never had passed
 You lit a cigarette and smiled
 And when we kissed it was electric
 A chemist made us for each other
 but I was far from being your only one
 My roommate said he'd seen you before...
 (chorus)
There's  something missing in  us
We  try to make it whole
Though  it never feels  like it, i  know you have it all
There's  something missing in  us
We  long to make it whole
Though  it never feels  like it
I  know you have it all
Yeah,  I know you have it all
 We went to the social development dance
 The whiskey went down easily
 You kissed the best you had enormous breasts
 And we wandered out really early
 We were neighbors for a very short time
 It all worked out quite wrong
 When your boyfriend called
 You pressed against the wall
 ...:"Oh I really gotta go now"....
 There's something missing in us
 We try to make it whole
 Though it never feels like it, I know you have it all
 There's something missing in us
 we long to make it whole
 though it never feels like it, I know you have it all
 Yeah, I know you have it all
 We'd move away when the winters were gone
 I think I saw you once in the city
 I heard you were staying up North with a friend
 And that your hair was falling out
 I tried to find out what had happened to you
 I Googled you in quotes- got no results
 I never learned how you had died
 But I knew how you had lived
 There's something missing in us
 We tried to make it whole
 Though it never felt like it, I know you had it all
 There's something missing in us
 We longed to make it whole
 Though it never felt like it, I know you had it all
 Yeah, I know you had it all
 Friend my friend, you left us in the end
 I remember the last time I saw you
 You were floating down Crouse Avenue.

on that long thin neck of yours
You glanced back, although we never had passed
You lit a cigarette and smiled

And when we kissed it was electric
A chemist made us for each other

We went to the social development dance
The whiskey went down easily
You kissed the best you had enormous breasts
And we wandered out really early

We were neighbors for a very short time
It all worked out quite wrong
When your boyfriend called
You pressed against the wall
...:"Oh I really gotta go now"....

There's something missing in us
We try to make it whole
Though it never feels like it, I know you have it all

There's something missing in us
we long to make it whole
though it never feels like it, I know you have it all
Yeah, I know you have it all

We'd move away when the winters were gone
I think I saw you once in the city
I heard you were staying up North with a friend
And that your hair was falling out

I tried to find out what had happened to you
I Googled you in quotes- got no results
I never learned how you had died
But I knew how you had lived

There's something missing in us
We tried to make it whole
Though it never felt like it, I know you had it all

There's something missing in us
We longed to make it whole
Though it never felt like it, I know you had it all
Yeah, I know you had it all
Friend my friend, you left us in the end

I remember the last time I saw you
You were floating down Crouse Avenue.
