Lyrics

You kissed your loved one good-bye

You parted ways with someone you love by giving them a goodbye kiss.

On a cold, foggy day

It was a chilly and foggy day when the departure happened.

I guess you didn't know that I'd go so far away

The separation occurred unexpectedly, and you didn't anticipate going so far away.

You knew there'd come a time

There was an awareness that a time would come when you'd have to pursue your own path.

When the road would call my name

You felt the pull of the road, beckoning you away from the relationship.

And we'd have to put a hold on

Plans and aspirations made together had to be paused due to the distance.

All those dreams we made

References the dreams and goals shared with your loved one.


So take my heart, I've already taken yours

Exchange of hearts; a mutual emotional connection exists.

This wound won't heal

The emotional hurt from the separation is profound and enduring.


I'm alone and cold inside,

Feeling isolated and emotionally distant after the departure.

Is there a moment we haven't shared

Reflecting on whether there's any shared moment left unexperienced.

Two hearts drawn as one,

Two individuals deeply connected, now facing separation.

Now I stare at an empty chair

An empty space left behind by the absence of the loved one.

You called and said last night

A recollection of a recent conversation or contact.

I've been waiting for your kiss

Longing for the affection and intimacy conveyed through a kiss.

Still I lie here at night as I think of the things I miss

Lying awake at night, reminiscing about what is missed due to the separation.


So take my heart, I've already taken yours

Reiteration of the emotional exchange between partners.

This wound won't heal

Emotional wounds caused by the separation remain unhealed.


Tell me, do you miss me like I miss you girl?

Questioning whether the other person misses you in the same way.

Hold me, in your heart, I'll never be lost again

Seeking reassurance that being held in their heart will prevent feeling lost.

Tell me, do you miss me like I miss you girl?

Reiteration of the desire for mutual longing and reassurance.

Hold me, in your heart, I'll never be lost again

Reiterating the desire to be held in the other's heart to avoid feeling lost.


Distance keeps burning inside of me

The distance causes a continual ache and yearning within.

I need you with me, oh girl, tell me

Expressing a strong need for the presence of the loved one.


You kissed your loved one good-bye

Repetition of the scene where the goodbye kiss was exchanged.

On a cold, foggy day

Recalling the specific weather conditions during the departure.

I guess you didn't know that I'd go so far away

Similar to line 3, reiterating the unexpected nature of the departure.


Tell me, do you miss me like I miss you girl?
