Missing You
Yearning Nights: Embracing the Essence of Jill Scott's 'Missing You'
Lyrics
Come on
Invitation or encouragement to someone to come closer or join.
Come on
-Babe
Addressing a loved one affectionately, possibly a partner.
The only thing I think about at night is that yo ain't here
Expressing the predominant thoughts about the absence of the person at night.
So many ideas
Conflicted thoughts and uncertainty about various ideas.
But truly I ain't sure
-I don't know
-That's how you got me boo
Acknowledging being emotionally affected and vulnerable due to the partner.
Late nights
Reference to late-night contemplation or yearning.
Missin' you
Expressing a deep sense of longing and missing various aspects of the partner.
Missin' your touch
-Missin' your love
-Missin' your spell
-I'm missin' you
-Missin' your kiss
-Missin' your arms
-Missin' your soul
-Well
Transitioning to reflect on continuous thoughts and feelings.
It seems like all I do
Recalling specific details and sensory experiences related to the partner.
I'm stuck on
-The way you would hold my hand
-When we would cross the street
-Your eyes when they paid attention
-Oh the smell of your breath
-On my skin
-I'm in
Emphasizing emotional involvement and deep connection.
I'm in
-And I'm missin' you
Reiterating the constant experience of missing the partner.
I am missin' you
-Seems like all I know
-I am missin' you
-Seems like all I ever do
Summarizing the persistent feeling of missing the partner as a dominant aspect of life.
