[Intro - Spoken, fragile] Nothing happened today. I just wanted to talk to you. You never needed a reason to call me either. [Verse 1 - Intimate, weary] Mom called after dinner I told her all about my day A friend came by and stayed a while I meant it when I said I was okay Then I saw something you'd have laughed at Too stupid to explain to someone new I sat there trying to think who else to tell But I only wanted you [Pre-Chorus - Tender, trembling] There are people I can turn to There are people who will stay But nobody knows what I mean Before I find a way to say it [Chorus - Open, aching] I miss you so much, sis That's all I've got tonight I don't need to hear an answer That makes any of this right I just want to hear you talking About something small and dumb I want to lose an hour with you And not care where it's gone I miss you so much, sis I don't want to hang up yet [Verse 2 - Warm, wounded] I miss the way you'd call me With the TV on too loud I'd ask you what you wanted You'd say, “Nothing. What's that sound?” Then we'd both do other things With our phones beside our heads Sometimes we barely even talked I miss that silence just as much [Pre-Chorus - Fragile, opening] You didn't need me to be happy Or have something good to say I could tell you I was tired And you'd stay with me anyway [Chorus - Open, aching] I miss you so much, sis That's all I've got tonight I don't need to hear an answer That makes any of this right I just want to hear you talking About something small and dumb I want to lose an hour with you And not care where it's gone I miss you so much, sis I don't want to hang up yet [Bridge - Bare, pleading] I know you can't come over I know you can't pick up Some nights I still say, “Please” As if I haven't asked enough Come sit here for a minute You don't have to say a thing I know that's not how this works Tonight, I wish it did [Instrumental - Sparse piano, soft cello] [Final Chorus - Breaking, intimate] I miss you so much, sis I wish you could call tonight I'd let you tell the same old story Without saying, “You've told me twice” You could put me on the speaker While you looked for something to wear I'd listen to the hangers moving I'd know that you were there I miss you so much, sis The little things, the whole of you I had a thousand calls like that I didn't know how much I'd lose I miss you so much, sis That's all I've got tonight [Outro - Spoken, exhausted] I would've kept you up too late. You would've complained tomorrow. I miss that too.
