Kissin' On You
Longing Melodies: Yearning for Love in Mike Hilly's 'Kissin' On You'
Lyrics
Been going out ten nights now without you
Expressing the duration of going out without the partner for ten nights.
My buddies call me up make sure I drink enough
Friends urging the speaker to drink to forget about the partner.
Forgetting all about you
Actively trying to erase memories of the partner.
You said you wouldn't leave but still I'm sittin
Despite promises, the partner has left, leaving the speaker alone.
On a single barstool
Visualizing the speaker sitting alone on a barstool.
Or maybe cuddled up in a corner booth drunk
Imagining the partner in a corner booth, possibly drunk and distant.
Missing on you
Feeling a sense of loss and longing for the partner.
And every time I walk into this bar
Every visit to the bar triggers memories of the partner.
Your memory don't let me get too far
The memories hinder the speaker from moving forward.
I should be kissing on you
Expressing the desire to be kissing the partner instead of missing them.
Instead I'm just missing on missing on you
Regret for not being physically close to the partner.
We used to have it my way
Reflecting on a time when things were the way the speaker wanted.
Then you hit that highway babe
The partner chose to leave and take a different path.
Now I'm missing on missing on kissing on you
Expressing the current state of missing and longing for the partner.
There ain't enough ground that I found
Unable to find emotional stability or closure.
To help me move on
No external factors help the speaker move on.
No tailgates down or outta this town's
Feeling disoriented and lost without the partner.
It's got me so lost
Being stuck in a town that intensifies the feelings of loss.
No hunting fishing loving wishing
List of activities that can't distract from thoughts of the partner.
Could get you off of my mind
The partner remains on the speaker's mind despite attempts to forget.
Everyone says get outta your head
Advice from others to move on and give it time.
And give it some time but
The struggle to follow advice and move past the memories.
I should be kissing on you
Expressing the desire to be kissing the partner instead of missing them.
Instead I'm just missing on missing on you
Regret for not being physically close to the partner.
We could have gone the distance
Belief that the relationship could have lasted if the partner had listened.
But you just wouldn't listen babe
Reflecting on the partner's lack of receptiveness.
Now I'm missing on missing on kissing on you
Expressing the current state of missing and longing for the partner.
I'm just missing on kissing on you
Reiteration of the strong feeling of missing and desiring the partner.
Been going out ten nights now without you
Repeating the duration of going out without the partner.
Instead of cuddled up in a corner booth drunk
Imagining an alternate scenario where the speaker is with the partner.
Kissin on you
Expressing the desire to be kissing the partner instead of missing them.
I should be kissing on you
Regret for not being physically close to the partner.
Instead I'm just missing on missing on you
Reiteration of the speaker's current state of missing and longing.
You couldn't stay you hate it
Partner's departure was motivated by dislike or discomfort.
I think we could've made it babe
Belief that the relationship had potential but was not realized.
But now I'm missing on missing on kissing on you
Expressing the current state of missing and longing for the partner.
I'm just missing on kissing on you
Reiteration of the strong feeling of missing and desiring the partner.
I should be kissing on not missing on kissing on you
Expressing the desire to be kissing the partner instead of missing them.
And I can't help missing on kissing on you
The inability to stop missing and longing for the partner.
