Missing You
Longing Across Distances: Echoes of Heartache in David Wilcox's 'Missing You'
Lyrics
Every time I think of you
Reflecting on thoughts of the person
I always catch my breath
Feeling a sudden emotional impact
And I'm still standing here
Remaining in the same place while the person is distant
And you're miles away
Not physically near, creating emotional distance
And I'm wondering why you left
Questioning the reasons for the person's departure
And there's a storm that's ragin'
Describing emotional turmoil within
Through my frozen heart tonight
Expressing deep emotional pain and numbness
I hear your name in certain circles
Hearing about the person from various sources
And it always makes me smile
Positive emotional response to hearing about the person
I spend my time thinkin' about you
Devoting time to thoughts about the person
And it's almost drivin' me wild
Intense emotions, bordering on feeling out of control
And there's a heart that's breakin'
Describing a heart that's breaking due to emotional pain
Down this long distance line tonight
Expressing the emotional challenge of a long-distance relationship
I ain't missin' you at all
Claiming not to miss the person
Since you've been gone away
Asserting lack of missing since the person's departure
I ain't missin' you at all
Repeating the sentiment of not missing the person
No matter what I might say
Acknowledging potential contradiction in words
There's a message in the wire
Referring to a metaphorical message in communication
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
Actively sending a signal to the person
You don't know how desperate I've become
Expressing desperation in the absence of the person
And it looks like I'm losin' this fight
Admitting to difficulties and potential loss in the relationship
In your world I have no meaning
Feeling a lack of significance in the person's world
Though I'm trying hard to understand
Attempting to understand the person's perspective
But it's my heart that's breakin'
Experiencing emotional pain and heartbreak
Down this long distance line tonight
Reiterating the emotional challenge of a long-distance relationship
I ain't missin' you at all
Reaffirming the claim of not missing the person
Since you've been gone away
Stating the absence of missing since departure
I ain't missin' you at all
Repeating the lack of missing sentiment
No matter what my friends say
Acknowledging external opinions but maintaining the stance
But there's a message that I'm sending out
Conveying a metaphorical message sent to the person
Like a telegraph to your soul
Describing the communication as reaching the person's soul
If I can't bridge this distance
Expressing a desire to overcome the emotional distance
Stop this heart break overload
Declaring a determination to stop emotional distress
I ain't missin' you
Repeating the claim of not missing the person
I ain't missin' you
Emphasizing the lack of missing
I can lie to myself
Admitting to self-deception
But there's a storm that's ragin'
Reiterating the emotional storm within
Through my frozen heart tonight
Highlighting the emotional turmoil in the heart
I ain't missin' you at all
Repeating the assertion of not missing the person
I ain't missin' you
Repeating the claim of not missing the person
I ain't missin' you
-I ain't missin' you
-Missin' you
Emphasizing the theme of missing the person
