A Song for Mikki Lyrics

I wonder if you'll miss the songs that I sing to our dogs

Or the jokes I tell that miss more than they hit

The way I fumble loudly through the house when I'm so tired

Even though I'm trying hard to be quiet

The accents that I imitate late while we watch TV

Or the sound effects I make for no good reason but to be

A little bit annoying, just a bored sensory seeker

Or the coffee I prepare to make your every morning sweeter

Will you miss me

When I'm not here

Cuz I'll miss how you fall asleep with your phone in your hand

It stays in place where it was raised long after your face lands

On the pillow next to me, I'll put it down and watch TV

And I'll miss knowing how lucky a man I came to be

I wonder if you'll miss the nights when I come late to sleep

When I'm in the living room alone watching pro wrestling

Or the days when I have great ideas to passionately pursue

Even though you know ADHD means I won't follow through

Cuz I'll miss teasing you about the tales that your repeat

Every time you hear Chicago, it's the same exact story

How your high school choir director loved that band and he would lecture

All about their education and now You're My Inspiration

And I'll miss how you push your glasses up and brush your nose

In the moments when you fake offense, pretend to be insulted

And the way you run away to take a bath for peace and quiet

And the fairy books you read when you wake halfway through the night

Will you miss me, when I'm not here

I wonder if you'll miss the frequency with which I say

You're loved or that I love you at least twenty times a day

Sometimes to fill the silence or make sure you don't forget

I'll never stop being grateful for the moment that we met

Will you miss me, when I'm not here

Cuz I'll miss how we say the things that we could never say

To anybody else because with us it's always safe

And I'll miss your anxiety and cookies that you bake

How you never wanted dogs but love them so well anyway

And I'll miss our traditions, random things that we'd create

Scavenger hunts at Christmas, candlelight Valentine's Day

Dinners with our children, Sunday breakfasts at our place

Growing older with my best friend, finding brand new ways to say

That I'd miss you, if you were not here

I'd miss you, if you're not here

I'd miss you, if you're not here
