What I Miss About You
Nostalgia Unveiled: Rediscovering Love's Echoes in 'What I Miss About You'
Lyrics
Missing the train every morning at 8:52
Expressing the routine of missing the morning train at 8:52.
Sipping coffee from the same cup as you
Recalling shared intimate moments like sipping coffee from the same cup.
The sharing of secrets we thought no one else knew
Highlighting the intimacy of sharing secrets known only to the couple.
That's what I miss about you
Expressing a sense of loss for these intimate moments.
The new way that love had made me see
Reflecting on a changed perspective on love due to the relationship.
Your bashful grin when you asked if I would like your key
Recalling a fond memory of the partner's bashful grin and offering a key.
The knowing way you used to caress me
Remembering the affectionate way the partner used to caress.
That's what I miss about you
Expressing longing for these affectionate actions.
You stole in with your starry smile exciting me
Describing the partner's entrance with a captivating smile.
Driving with you in your new car, feeling free
Recalling the joy of driving together in a new car and feeling free.
and if it's true that love is blind, then I was blind willingly
Suggesting a willingness to overlook faults for the sake of love.
You made me feel we had a future, that could be and would be
Feeling optimistic about a shared future based on the relationship.
The way you said I'd be no one on my own
Highlighting a negative aspect, where the partner belittled the individual.
Your habit of soaking yourself in over-priced cologne
Criticizing the partner's habit of using expensive cologne excessively.
The way you turned the lights out when I knew you were home
Recalling a negative behavior of turning off lights when the partner is home.
That's what I don't miss about you
Expressing relief for not having to deal with these negative traits anymore.
I bet you're using your weary magic like it's new
Suggesting that the ex-partner is using the same charming tactics on a new person.
Driving so fast with a new fool beside you
Imagining the ex-partner driving fast with a new companion.
Presumably believing she's the last of the lucky few
Presuming that the new person is unaware of being deceived.
I wonder if she knows she's being lied to like I do
Expressing curiosity about whether the new person realizes the lies.
The way I only doubted myself when I was with you
Reflecting on self-doubt that was present only in the context of the past relationship.
Like I was wrong for expecting something from life too
Feeling judged for expecting something from life while in the past relationship.
Your skill of putting me down in-front of everyone we knew
Remembering the partner's skill of publicly demeaning the individual.
That's what I don't miss about you
Expressing relief for not having to endure public humiliation anymore.
