Miss You
Longing Echoes: A Tale of Drifting Hearts
Lyrics
We used to be so close and now
We were once very close, but...
You feel so far
You now seem distant.
You're lying there right next to me,
You are physically present beside me,
I don't know where you are
But emotionally, I can't locate you.
I miss you
Expressing a strong yearning and emotional absence.
I miss you
-I miss you
-I miss the way we used to talk
Missing the past communication and intimacy,
The way we used to kiss
-I'd never in a million years
-Imagine us like this
-I miss you
Reiteration of intense feelings of missing.
I miss you
-I miss you
-cnd the walls keep going up
Describing a situation of conflict and stagnation,
But no one's caving in
-cnd we're talking in circles
-But no one ever wins
-cnd the tides keep on turning and the sands keep on shifting
Highlighting the growing distance.
cnd we're drifting so far apart
-cnd we're drifting so far apart
-I miss you, I miss you
Reiteration of the strong feeling of missing.
But I can see you laughing before those vows were broken
Recalling moments of happiness before problems arose,
Before those careless words
-I should have left unspoken
-In the space that comes between us
Addressing the emotional gap between them.
Where I end and you begin
-cnd I try to open up and show you who I am
Expressing difficulty in revealing one's true self.
But the tides keep on turning and the sands keep on shifting
Continuing to emphasize the widening emotional gap.
cnd we're drifting so far apart
-I'm telling it to your face, could you tell it to your heart
Directly expressing feelings to the other person.
We're drifting
Stating the continued drifting apart.
We're drifting so far apart
-cnd I miss you
Reiteration of missing the person.
cnd the tides keep on turning and the sands keep on shifting
Repeating the imagery of drifting apart.
cnd we're drifting so far apart
-cnd we're drifting so far apart
-I miss you, I miss you
Final reiteration of the strong feeling of missing.
