Miss Me
Yearning Echoes: Embracing the Empty Seat of Love
Lyrics
4am and I'm still in the middle of
Expressing the late hour, suggesting a time of introspection.
Killing this bottle of Jim Beam
Indicating the consumption of Jim Beam, possibly as a coping mechanism.
And it's killin' me, that I'm drunk at home
Regretting being intoxicated at home while the person of interest is with someone else.
And you're running around with him
Conveying the emotional impact of the person's actions.
Never know what you have 'til its gone
Reflecting on the value of something after losing it.
I sat staring at the missed calls on your phone
Noticing missed calls on the person's phone, suggesting attempts at communication.
It's false hope for a love that used to be
Acknowledging false hope for a past love.
Now all I see is
Describing the current emotional state as emptiness.
An empty front seat on the way to the bar
Depicting a lonely drive to a bar with an empty front seat.
A last chance prayer on a shooting star
Expressing desperation through a last chance prayer.
I been hoping and missing and dreaming about kissing you
Conveying continuous thoughts and desires for the person.
Baby what else do I have to do
Pleading for a solution to bring the person back.
To make you come back home to me
Expressing the desire for the person to return home.
'Cause there ain't no love in this empty bottle of whiskey
Describing the absence of love in the current state.
Oh so baby please miss me
Pleading for the person to miss the speaker.
I can't control, these things I'm feeling deep down in my bones
Admitting lack of control over intense emotions.
I know you'll never understand
Recognizing the difficulty of understanding the speaker's feelings.
'Cause I'm too far gone, and it's safe to say you've known that all along
Conveying a sense of irreversible distance and the person's awareness of it.
I just can't let go of these hands
Struggling to let go of the past.
Now all I am is
Describing the current self as emotionally empty.
An empty front seat on the way to the bar
Repeating the image of an empty front seat and a solitary journey to the bar.
A last chance prayer on a shooting star
Expressing hope through a desperate prayer.
I been hoping and missing and dreaming about kissing you
Continuing to hope, miss, and dream about the person.
Baby what else do I have to do
Reiterating the plea for the person to come back.
To make you come back home to me
Persistently desiring the person's return home.
'Cause there ain't no love in this empty bottle of whiskey
Stating the absence of love in the current situation.
Oh so baby please miss me
Repeating the plea for the person to miss the speaker.
An empty front seat on the way to the bar
Recalling the lonely journey to the bar and the desperate prayer.
A last chance prayer on a shooting star
Reiterating the ongoing hope, miss, and dream about the person.
I been hoping and missing and dreaming about kissing you
Continuing to ask what else needs to be done for the person to return.
Baby what else do I have to do
Reiterating the plea for the person to come back.
To make you come back home to me
Persistently desiring the person's return home.
'Cause there ain't no love in this empty bottle of whiskey
Emphasizing the absence of love in the current situation.
Oh so baby please miss me
Repeating the plea for the person to miss the speaker.
Oh baby please miss me
Reiterating the plea for the person to miss the speaker.
Oh so baby please miss me
Repeating the plea for the person to miss the speaker.
Oh baby please miss me
Final plea for the person to miss the speaker.
