I Think I Lost Something

I think i lost something you gave to me
But i don't remember what it was
There's an empty spot that could be filled
And i can't seem to fill it
If you tell me what i'm looking for
I'll look closer than i did before
And i'll try harder than i did before
To make the picture complete

Describe its shape and size to me
Was it something i carried around?
Was it like a book or radio?
Or was it alive and breathing?

I don't want to look like i'm foolish
But i don't want to care, either
I might be a little misguided
But i know something's gone

I wish that i could take away
This gnawing sense of loss
Boundless freedom can't erase
This trap i've drawn around me

I worry over nothing
And ignore what's really important
I know i'm a little excited
But that's just what i mean
