I Miss Being in Love
Yearning Echoes: Embracing Moments Lost in Love
Lyrics
I miss being in love
I yearn for the feeling of being in love.
I miss being somebody to somebody
I miss the sense of being important to someone.
I miss staying up too late by accident
I miss unintentionally staying awake late.
Making out with my best friend
Recalling the experience of making out with a close friend.
I miss being in love
Expressing the longing for the overall sensation of being in love.
I miss having a reason to stop working
Yearning for a reason to take a break from work.
I miss telling jokes only we’d understand
Longing for sharing inside jokes that only the couple understands.
Fighting over the ceiling fan
Missing the playfulness of arguing over mundane things, like a ceiling fan.
I miss the couple cats I know I won’t see again
Regretting the loss of connection with certain cats.
I miss lamenting the bias of CNN
Missing the shared experience of critiquing media bias.
I miss looking at my dresser and seeing her stuff
Longing for the reminders of a past relationship when looking at personal belongings.
And I miss being in love
Reiterating the desire to experience the emotional depth of being in love.
I miss having her house key in my pocket
Missing the intimacy symbolized by having a partner's house key.
Miss having someone to watch Love Island with
Longing for a companion to share specific interests, like watching Love Island.
Miss the sounds of where she lived
Missing the familiar sounds of the partner's living space.
I miss the smell of her shampoo beneath my nose
Longing for the sensory memories, like the smell of the partner's shampoo.
The way that she kind of sighed when I held her close
Recalling the unique reactions of the partner when held close.
Going to Kroger for red wine and nothing else
Missing the simplicity of shared activities, like buying red wine together.
And not waking up all by myself
Expressing the desire to wake up with a significant other.
I miss debating which thumb’s in front when holding hands
Recalling the playful debates about hand-holding.
I miss her mad that I’m washing her frying pans
Longing for the shared domestic responsibilities, even mundane ones.
I miss that song that I never did know the name of
Missing a particular song and the associated memories.
And I miss being in love
Reiterating the overall longing for the emotional depth of being in love.
In general but mostly with her
Expressing a general longing for love, especially with a specific person.
There was no way we could make it work
Reflecting on the impossibility of making the relationship work.
It’d be nice if that made it not hurt
Hoping that acknowledging the impossibility will ease the pain.
But I miss the girl that now tells her friends that we’re enemies
Missing the previous positive image in the eyes of the mentioned person.
I miss the time when I didn’t miss anything
Longing for the time when there was no sense of loss or longing.
I miss when we didn’t know that we’d mess it all up
Missing the blissful ignorance of not knowing that the relationship would fail.
And I miss being in love
Reiterating the desire to experience the emotional depth of being in love.
I miss being in love
Reiterating the primary sentiment of missing the experience of being in love.
