Like I Miss You
Longing and Regret: Waterloo Revival's "Like I Miss You
Lyrics
You're the top of every thought I think
You are the primary focus of all my thoughts.
At the bottom of every drink I drink
Your absence is felt deeply, especially when I'm drinking.
Every song on the radio
Every song on the radio reminds me of you.
Every sign on every road
Every sign on the road triggers thoughts of you.
All those dreams you dreamed about
Your dreams have captured my attention.
Sure got my attention now
I should have made your dreams come true.
Shoulda made em all come true
Regret for not realizing the importance of making those dreams a reality.
But now I know what I wish I knew
I now understand what I wish I had known earlier.
If I loved you like I miss you
Expressing a desire to love as intensely as missing someone.
Held you like I'm wishing I was right now
Wishing to hold the person closely at this moment.
There'd be no doubt
Believing that there would be no uncertainty in the relationship.
If my world revolved around you
If my world revolved around you like it does now without you.
Like it does right now without you
Highlighting the current emptiness without the person.
Maybe I'd still be what you want
Suggesting that things might have been different if the love was as intense as the missing.
If loved you like I miss you baby
If I loved you intensely like I miss you.
You wouldn't be gone, gone
Expressing regret for the person being gone.
It's 2020 hindsight clear
Clear realization with hindsight in the year 2020.
I had you like I need you here
Expressing the need for the person as if they are essential.
Wish I could change your mind
Expressing a desire to change the person's mind.
Oh I swear I could if I
A sincere belief in the ability to change the person's mind.
Loved you like I miss you
Reiteration of the desire to love intensely like missing.
Held you like I'm wishing I was right now
Reiterating the wish to hold the person closely right now.
There'd be no doubt
Emphasizing the absence of doubt if love matched the intensity of missing.
If my world revolved around you
If my world revolved around you like it does now without you.
Like it does right now without you
Highlighting the current emptiness without the person.
Maybe I'd still be what you want
Suggesting that things might have been different if the love was as intense as the missing.
If loved you like I miss you baby
If I loved you intensely like I miss you.
You wouldn't be gone
Expressing regret for the person being gone.
If I put you on a pedestal
Considering the person on a pedestal, implying high regard.
If I wasn't such a selfish fool
Admitting to being a selfish fool in the past.
If I loved you like I miss you
Reiteration of the desire to love intensely like missing.
Held you like I'm wishing I was right now
Reiterating the wish to hold the person closely right now.
There'd be no doubt
Emphasizing the absence of doubt if love matched the intensity of missing.
If my world revolved around you
If my world revolved around you like it does now without you.
Like it does right now without you
Highlighting the current emptiness without the person.
Maybe I'd still be what you want
Suggesting that things might have been different if the love was as intense as the missing.
If loved you like I miss you baby
If I loved you intensely like I miss you.
You wouldn't be gone, gone
Expressing regret for the person being gone.
Yeah you're gone
Acknowledging the person's absence with the repeated confirmation of being gone.
