Missing
Beach Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It was hard to face the mornings well, what's the point all by yourself
And I couldn't leave the house at night, for fear of breaking up inside

You, I was only missing you, guess I didn't know what to do with myself, with myself

I couldn't wrap myself in clothes that someone once beside me knows too well
You know too well
So I'm standing outside in the driving rain, give me it all I'll take the pain
Will I ever know why I push you away, to want you back the very same day

You, I was only missing you, guess I didn't know what to do with myself, with myself

There are holes upon the shelves - those things belonged to someone else
And there is space beneath these sheets - the body's cold but the heart still beats for you

You, I was only missing you, guess I didn't know what to do with myself, with myself

They say in time these things will pass but like another sleepless night it just lasts too long





You, I was only missing you, guess I didn't know what to do with myself, with myself

Line by Line Meaning

It was hard to face the mornings well, what's the point all by yourself
Waking up alone every day was a challenge, feeling lost without you by my side


And I couldn't leave the house at night, for fear of breaking up inside
The thought of going out and facing the world without you was too painful


You, I was only missing you, guess I didn't know what to do with myself, with myself
My heart was yearning for you, not knowing how to cope with the emptiness in my life


I couldn't wrap myself in clothes that someone once beside me knows too well
I couldn't bring myself to wear the clothes we once shared together


You know too well
You understand the depth of our connection and the void it left behind


So I'm standing outside in the driving rain, give me it all I'll take the pain
Facing the stormy weather outside, willing to endure the pain of missing you


Will I ever know why I push you away, to want you back the very same day
Questioning my actions, pushing you away and yet yearning for your presence immediately after


There are holes upon the shelves - those things belonged to someone else
Reminders of you are scattered throughout my living space, signifying your absence


And there is space beneath these sheets - the body's cold but the heart still beats for you
Even in an empty bed, my heart longs for your warmth and presence


They say in time these things will pass but like another sleepless night it just lasts too long
Despite hearing that time heals, the emptiness and longing for you linger like a never-ending night

Im a twin and my brother got lost at a beach and after 2 hours and couldn’t find him and my mom was fainting
I was walking with a cop and during the whole time I was calm and we eventually did find him in a hole he was digging with other kids
I jumped in and started helping him
