Miss You
54-40 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Do you know where I've been
Do you know what I've seen lately
To a land we call our own
Look for the inside

What was there I couldn't find
It seems the place is now a cave
And so I wander on through the empty fibers
I found a hole that could be filled

And then I found another
You could ask me how come I did nothing
To change my ways

Miss you miss you all my soul
Miss you miss you can't feel whole
Go to where people stare
But what they watch still ain't there

I climbed up there anyway
You never know what it may show
The view was something like time
Ever changing life's endless glow

I saw a future sign
Said 'don't fall behind'
I imagine that is what it meant
Don't want to miss the time for

Getting together on to the land of
Better minds hearts and souls
Miss you miss you all my soul
Miss you miss you need that hole

What are you looking for
Let's take a little time
Knowing that you're whole
Do you know where you are now

Do you know if you've been found
Do you know how long you've been away
Don't mean to bring you down
Don't mean to make you bound

It only means that you hear me
Miss you miss you all my soul
Miss you miss you where'd you go
Everyone flies faster than light

Just to beat the gun
Breakin' it down
Makin' a sound
Not the only one

'Cause I know everybody feels
Everybody's real
Everybody needs a chance
To make a little love someday

Then I'll pray then I'll have to say




That I am with you
Oh, I miss you

Not the only one
I'm not alone in feeling this way


'Cause I know everybody feels
I'm certain everyone experiences


Everybody's real
Everyone's experience is genuine and authentic


Everybody needs a chance
Everyone deserves an opportunity


To make a little love someday
To find love in the future

That I am there for you, always


Oh, I miss you
Oh, how much I yearn for your company
