Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh
Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah
No no no no no, no, no

It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do?
Said I been needin' you, wantin' you (said I need you)
Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine?
I wanna cry sometimes
I miss you

Off to college
Yes, you went away
Straight from high school
You up and left me
We were close friends
Also lovers
Did everything
For one another
Now you're gone and I'm lost without you here now
But I know I gotta live and make it somehow

Come back to me (to me)
Can you feel me? (Hear me callin')
Hear me callin' (for you)
For you, 'cause it's

It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do?
Said I been needin' you, wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine?
I wanna cry sometimes, I miss you

Now I'm sittin' here
Thinkin' 'bout you
And the days we used to share
It's drivin' me crazy
I don't know what to do
I'm just wonderin' if you still care
I don't wanna let you know
That it's killin' me
I know you got another life you, gotta concentrate, baby

Come back to me (to me)
Can you feel me? (Hear me callin')
Hear me callin' (for you)
For you, 'cause it's

It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do? (Yeah)
Said I been needin' you, wantin' you (baby)
Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine?
I wanna cry sometimes
I miss you

It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do?
Said I been needin' you, wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine?
I wanna cry sometimes
I miss you

(I, I) I miss you
(I, I)

I can't be no more (I, no more, no)
Since you went away I
Don't really feel like talkin' (no)
No one here to love me (no, no, no)
Baby, do you understand me?
I can't do or be without you

It's been too long and I'm lost without you
Tell me what I'm gonna do
Said I been needin' you, wantin' you (yeah)
Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine?
I wanna (yeah, yeah) cry sometimes
I miss you (baby)

It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do?
Said I been needin' you, wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine?
I wanna cry sometimes
I miss you

It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I gonna do? (No)
Said I been needin' you, wantin' you
Wonderin' if you're the same and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine?




I wanna cry sometimes
