Missing Someone
Yearning Echoes: Jaimee Harris' Soulful Quest for Connection
Lyrics
Finally calling back all my friends
Initiating communication with friends after a period of absence
They've been wondering where I've been
Friends have been curious about the speaker's whereabouts
I went off the deep end
Experienced a challenging situation or emotional turmoil
This time it was a good swim
This challenging experience was ultimately positive
I've been running round with someone
Engaged romantically with someone unexpected
Never thought I'd be this fun again
Surprised by the enjoyment found in this newfound romance
Well, I never woulda thought it had you told me that
Reflecting on unexpected connections and how they unfolded
We would come together quite like we have
Expressing surprise at the successful coming together with someone
Kinda reads like Kerouac
Comparing the story to Jack Kerouac's adventures
Crossing country then going back
Recalling travels across the country and retracing steps
Back to New York to figure it out
Returning to New York to find clarity
Back to the place I loved you right out loud
Reflecting on a place where love was openly expressed
Work's piled up, dishes ain't done
Overwhelmed with work and neglecting chores
I've been stuck on the telephone
Spending too much time on the phone
Ain't been sleeping in my bed, I'd rather be in yours instead
Choosing not to sleep in one's own bed, desiring another's
Guess I've come a little undone
Feeling emotionally unravelled
I'm just missing, I'm just missing someone
Expressing the emotional state of missing someone
I'm looking up at the sky
Gazing at the sky, possibly seeking answers or connection
I'm looking all the time
Constantly searching or yearning
Is that you circling round
Wondering if the person is watching from above
When are you coming down
Awaiting the return of the person
When'll I see your face again
Eagerly anticipating seeing the person's face
When'll I get to have that skin I'm craving
Craving the physical closeness of the person
Work's piled up, dishes ain't done
Reiteration of work and neglecting responsibilities
I've been stuck on the telephone
Continued preoccupation with the telephone
Ain't been sleeping in my bed, I'd rather be in yours instead
Choosing to be in the other person's bed over one's own
Guess I've come a little undone
Acknowledging a sense of unraveling
I'm just missing, I'm just missing someone
Reiterating the emotional state of missing someone
We tried counting down the days
Attempts to count down the days until reunion
But our hearts couldn't take the pain
Heartache and difficulty enduring separation
Ain't never been so hard living, hard living this way
Describing the extreme hardship of living without the person
When I finally get to getting to you, babe, I'm gonna stay
Determined commitment to stay with the person upon reunion
Work's piled up, dishes ain't done
Repetition of work and neglecting responsibilities
I've been stuck on the telephone
Continued preoccupation with the telephone
Ain't been sleeping in my bed, I'd rather be in yours instead
Choosing to be in the other person's bed over one's own
Guess I've come a little undone
Acknowledging a sense of unraveling
I'm just missing, I'm just missing someone
Reiterating the emotional state of missing someone
Hey, I'm just missing someone
Final acknowledgment of missing someone
Hey, I'm just missing someone
Reiteration of the emotional state of missing someone
