Lyrics
Missing you used to mean 2am grab the keys
Missing you used to signify the impulsive act of driving to your place at 2 am.
In the car, on your street knocking by 2:03
Arriving on your street and knocking on your door by 2:03 am was part of missing you.
Missing you used to mean messing up
Missing you used to involve making mistakes and justifying it to friends as a one-time occurrence.
Telling my friends, "no, it's just this once"
Explaining to friends that it's a rare occurrence, covering up the mistakes made while missing you.
Missing you used to mean showing up where you go
Missing you meant appearing unexpectedly where you frequently visited.
Calling it happenstance, second night in a row
Attributing it to chance, even if it happened two nights in a row.
Missing you used to mean "it's getting late
Missing you used to involve staying late, using the excuse of having had a few drinks.
Had a couple drinks, I should probably stay" but
Considering staying the night due to the lateness and alcohol, but...
If I ever, if I ever wanna try and get over you
Expressing the recognition that to move on, there are specific actions to be taken.
I know what I'm supposed to do
Acknowledging the prescribed steps to overcome the feelings of missing you.
I gotta make missing you just mean missing you, missing you
Emphasizing the need to redefine missing you to simply missing you without the associated actions.
If we're together, then I'll never get to cutting your memory loose
If together, realizing that cutting the memory loose is necessary to move forward.
I know what I gotta do
Acknowledging the understanding of the required actions to overcome the emotions.
I gotta make missing you, just mean missing you
Stressing the importance of making missing you solely about the feeling of missing someone.
Missing you has got to mean we don't talk anymore
Redifining missing you to involve no communication.
Give it time, had the wine, put the phone in the drawer
Allowing time to pass, resorting to wine, and deliberately putting the phone away.
cs long as its a game, I'm bound to lose
As long as it remains a game, accepting the inevitability of losing.
Hardest damn thing I'm going to have to do, but
Recognizing that refraining from the game is the most challenging task to do.
If I ever, if I ever wanna try and get over you
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the steps required to move on.
I know what I'm supposed to do
Stressing the importance of changing the perception of missing you.
I gotta make missing you just mean missing you, missing you
Emphasizing the need to make missing you solely about the emotion, not actions.
If we're together, then I'll never get to cutting your memory loose
If in a relationship, understanding that holding onto memories hinders moving on.
I know what I gotta do
Acknowledging the awareness of the necessary steps to overcome the past.
I gotta make missing you, just mean missing you
Reiterating the importance of redefining missing you to just the emotion.
If I ever, if I ever want to try and get over you
Expressing the acknowledgment of the actions needed to move on from missing you.
I know what I'm supposed to do
Reiterating the understanding of the prescribed steps to overcome the feelings of missing you.
I gotta make missing you, just mean missing you
Emphasizing the need to redefine missing you as solely missing the person without additional actions.
