Let Me Miss You
Nostalgic Whispers and Heartache: "Let Me Miss You" by Old Man of the Woods
Lyrics
I wish that it was nineteen seventy
I long for the time in the 1970s
I'd call your answering machine
I would leave a message on your answering machine
Pretend you're whispering to me
Pretend that you're speaking softly to me
Instead I see your face on every screen
Instead, I constantly see your face on various screens
I wish that I could isolate the pain
I wish I could separate and alleviate the pain
Cut it out, sterilize, and clean
To remove it, sterilize, and cleanse
Give the wound a couple weeks
Give the emotional wound a few weeks to heal
Instead it fills me whole
However, it consumes me entirely
Bursts at the seams
Bursting at the seams with emotion
Let me miss you
Allow me the space to miss you
Let me forget you
Let me try to forget you
If I can't kiss you
If I'm unable to kiss you
Can I regret you
Can I at least regret you?
Your sweat stains my sheets
Your presence lingers in my bed
Your lips brush my cheek
Your lips still touch my face
In my dreams, in my dreams
In my dreams, repeatedly in my dreams
Let me miss you
Grant me the ability to miss you
I wish that I could recoup all I spent
I desire to recover all that I invested
Expanding the rooms of my mind
Expanding the mental space for you
Just to fit you within them
Yet, fear prevents me from rebuilding
Instead I'll be too scared to build again
I'll attempt to create what comes next
I'll try to invent what comes next
I'll shy away, afraid to start anew
I'll remove your name from those plans
I'll erase your name from those future plans
Alchemize the torment into text
Transforming the anguish into written words
Clear my head
Clear my mind of the turmoil
Let me miss you
Allow me the time and space to miss you
Let me forget you
Grant me the opportunity to forget you
If I can't kiss you
If I'm unable to kiss you
Can I regret you
Can I, at least, regret you?
Your air's all I breathe
Your presence is the very air I breathe
Your arms cradle me
Your arms provide comfort and support
In my dreams
In my dreams, continuously in my dreams
In my dreams
Grant me the space to miss you
Let me miss you
Let me long for you
