I Miss You
Akiko Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A couple seasons passed me by since you made me feel so real
That feeling I remember It was as good as can be

I haven`t seen you for a while I wonder if you are well
What`s going on in your mind? I really would like to see

I try to think but it won`t do It`s taking time to get near
Some things are hard to explain I wonder can I tell you?

We haven`t been talking much It doesn`t mean I don`t care
Should I just call you to say I`m falling and I miss you

Ooh, wish I was with you in my dreams
And I`m praying to be by your side and suddenly you`ll slip away

Ooh, easy as flowing down the stream
Do you know that? Will you understand me? What is it that makes me wait so long?

Sometimes do you think of me as much as I think fo you?
I`d like to know when you dream Am I there? Do you miss me?

I know you can`t share life with me and I don`t know what to do
But if you walk right through my door You`ll see that i miss you

"In my heart
I want you to know that I miss you"
