Missing you
888 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We started as friends
And then I slept in your bed
Now I'm guilty as sin
We were drinking again
You got under my skin
Now its complicated
You've been swimming in my head
Tidal waves still crashing in
Now it's hard to believe
But I finally see, that my heart was asleep
(Cuz I'm missing you)
Now
Missing you, missing you, missing you
You know I'm missing you
Now
Missing you, missing you, missing you
You know I'm missing you
If you give me a shot
I'll give you all that I got
Do you want me or not?
Do you want me or not?!
Now
Missing you, missing you, missing you
You know I'm missing you

I've been drinking too much
I'm a little fucked up
Maybe I wasn't enough
(Maybe I wasn't enough)
Can you show me a sign?
Tell me I'm on your mind
Even if its a lie (even if its a lie)
Cuz I've been blowin' up your phone
Caving in, I'm losing hope
Going out of my head
Spinning up in the air
So tell me this is this end
(Cuz I'm missing you)
Now
Missing you, missing you, missing you
You know I'm missing you
Now
Missing you, missing you, missing you
You know I'm missing you
If you give me a shot
I'll give you all that I got
Do you want me or not?
Do you want me or not?!
Now
Missing you, missing you, missing you
You know I'm missing you

You know I'm Missing You
(Missing You)
Don't leave me before
I'm done with tour
Don't leave me love
Because I've got enough
(Cuz I'm missing you)
Now
Missing you, missing you, missing you
You know I'm missing you
Now
Missing you, missing you, missing you
You know I'm missing you
If you give me a shot
I'll give you all that I got
Do you want me or not?
Do you want me or not?!
Now




Missing you, missing you, missing you
You know I'm missing you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Missing You" by 888 express the feelings of longing and regret after a failed relationship. The song starts with the singer recalling how they started as friends but ended up sleeping together. Then, they confess to feeling guilty about it as they were drinking and got caught up in the moment. Now, their thoughts are consumed by the person they are missing (the one they slept with). They want the other person to give them a chance to make things right, but they fear that they may not be enough for them. The singer is driving themselves crazy with thoughts of the other person, and they are desperately seeking a sign that the other person might still be thinking about them.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the singer's feeling of missing the other person. However, it is unclear whether the person they miss feels the same way. The bridge implies that the singer is a musician on tour, and they fear that the other person might leave them before they return. The song ends with the singer asking for another chance and questioning whether or not the other person wants them back.


Overall, "Missing You" is a relatable and emotional song about the pain of longing for someone who may not feel the same way. It is a reminder to treasure the relationships that we have and not take them for granted.
