Miss You
Longing Echoes: Absence, Remembrance, and Change
Lyrics
I needed someone to be here to be here all along
I needed someone to be consistently present in my life.
Not any time in between
No gaps or breaks in the companionship I sought.
I must have waited but the hours of bliss
I may have waited, but the moments of happiness were unfamiliar.
Were hours I've never seen
The joyful times were rare and unexperienced.
One lie could end it all
A single falsehood could jeopardize everything.
This breath could be our last one
Each breath has the potential to be our last.
Seems a lot of time has passed since then
A significant amount of time has elapsed since a particular moment.
When you and I were we but now just friends
Formerly, we were a couple ('we'), but now we are only friends.
Oh, I miss you
Expressing a longing or nostalgia for the person being addressed.
No one could ever take the place of you
No one else could replace or replicate the role you played.
And every little change that I go through alone
Every change I undergo, I experience it in solitude without you.
I miss you
Reiterating the feeling of missing the person being addressed.
I guess it's harder when you're left on your own
Being alone makes it more challenging to comprehend one's own actions.
To understand all I did
Acknowledging the difficulty of understanding everything done when alone.
I'm not that shallow that I don't see your side
Assuring that the speaker is not superficial and recognizes the other person's perspective.
Or all that you had to give
Acknowledging and appreciating all that the other person had to offer.
One lie could end it all
A single falsehood could jeopardize everything (repeated theme).
This breath could be our last one
Each breath has the potential to be our last (repeated theme).
Seems a lot of time has passed since then
A significant amount of time has elapsed since a particular moment (repeated theme).
When you and I were we but now just friends
Formerly, we were a couple ('we'), but now we are only friends (repeated theme).
Oh, I miss you
Expressing a longing or nostalgia for the person being addressed (repeated theme).
No one could ever take the place of you
No one else could replace or replicate the role you played (repeated theme).
And every little change that I go through alone
Every change I undergo, I experience it in solitude without you (repeated theme).
I miss you
Reiterating the feeling of missing the person being addressed (repeated theme).
