I Missed Out
Embracing Absence: Hockey Dad's 'I Missed Out' Unveiled
Lyrics
I just got back
I have recently returned.
From having my eyes peeled
I've been paying close attention or watching intently.
It's simple science
Referring to the simplicity of the situation or experience.
Simple as it feels
As straightforward as it feels emotionally.
Give me a recap
Give me a summary or review of the events.
Give me a spot to fill
Provide me with a role or place to occupy.
I need extended
I require an extended period for recovery.
Extended time to heal
More time than usual is needed to heal emotionally.
Times away
Periods of absence or time spent away.
Times away
Reiteration of being away for a certain duration.
You're right to tell me I've been gone
Acknowledging that the speaker has been absent.
But don't remind me what went on
Discouraging a detailed reminder of past events.
I missed out on so much
Expressing regret for missing out on various experiences.
I missed out all the good stuff
Specifically, regretting missing out on positive or enjoyable things.
I went through the wringer
Referring to a challenging or difficult situation.
I missed out on so much
Reiterating the feeling of missing out on positive experiences.
I had my time in
Having had one's turn or opportunity.
I held center square
Occupying a central or important position.
The thoughts came running after
Thoughts catching up or confronting the speaker.
And I just held my stare
Staring or looking intensely at the situation.
I needed a break
Needing a break from external influences or stimuli.
A break from stimulus
A pause from external factors for recovery.
But I missed every moment
Despite the break, the speaker missed every moment.
And I missed out on us
Regret for missing out on the relationship or shared experiences.
Times away
Repetition of the theme of being away for a period.
Times away
Continuation of the idea of being away from a situation.
You're right to tell me I've been gone
Acknowledgment of the speaker's absence and its impact.
But don't remind me what went on
Advising against a detailed recollection of past events.
I missed out on so much
Repeating the regret for missing out on positive experiences.
I missed out all the good stuff
Specifically, feeling the absence of enjoyable moments.
I went through the wringer
Referring to going through a challenging or testing phase.
I missed out on so much
Reiterating the overall feeling of missing out.
Times away
Reiteration of being away from a situation or experience.
Times away
Continuing the theme of absence or distance.
Times away
Further emphasizing the duration of being away.
Times away
Repetition of the extended period of absence.
