Missing You
Longing and Whiskey: Heartfelt Reflections on Love's Inevitability
Lyrics
You've got your own heartbreak, baby, you don't need to get caught up in mine
You have your own heartbreak, and I don't want you to be involved in mine.
You've got your headlights set for LA, I've got Houston for mine
You are heading towards LA, while I have my sights set on Houston.
How 'bout a little whiskey in the backseat of your car, singin' along to Johnny and June, babe
Suggesting a shared intimate moment with whiskey in the car, singing Johnny and June songs.
Your soft alto and my sweet dishevel caught traction just a little too late
Referring to a missed opportunity for a romantic connection due to timing issues.
When the sunlight hits your lips, and every other time of day
Highlighting moments when the sunlight accentuates your lips.
It occurs to me that soon, I'll be missing you
The realization that soon, the singer will be missing the person addressed.
We don't need false hopes, baby, still I ain't dyin' for the truth
Expressing a preference for avoiding false hopes without a willingness to die for the truth.
When it's all bound to change, I know what we're bound to lose
Acknowledging the inevitability of change and the awareness of impending loss.
How 'bout a little whiskey in the backseat of your car, singin' along to Johnny and June, babe
Repeating the suggestion of a shared moment with whiskey and music in the car.
Your soft alto and my sweet dishevel caught traction just a little too late
Reiterating the idea of a missed connection due to circumstances.
When the sunlight hits your lips, and every other time of day
Describing the impact of sunlight on the person's lips at different times of the day.
It occurs to me that soon, I'll be missing you
Reaffirming the realization that the singer will soon be missing the addressed person.
You know that you were never mine, I was always yours
Acknowledging that the person was never truly the singer's, indicating one-sided feelings.
How 'bout a little whiskey in the backseat of your car, singin' along to Johnny and June, babe
Repeating the imagery of a shared intimate moment in the car with music.
Your soft alto and my sweet dishevel caught traction just a little too late
Emphasizing the timing issue that caused the missed romantic connection.
When the sunlight hits your lips, and every other time of day
Highlighting the impact of sunlight on the person's lips at various times.
It occurs to me that soon, I'll be missing you
Reiterating the awareness that the singer will soon be missing the addressed person.
