Miss You Like Crazy
Briskeby Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Miss you like crazy)
On my first day on the beach
I saw you covered in sunbeams
I didn't know your name
but you looked as cool as icecream
I said I need to see your name
just listen to my heartbeat
We took a ride in your car

and then we kissed in the backseat
course:
The nights have been wild
days have been lazy
For the past three or four weeks
I'm gonna
miss you like crazy
cause it's the last day on the beach
Miss you like crazy
miss you like crazy
I've tasted the salt in your hair
and your lips are like honey
if I wasted my time and my share

The nights have been wild
days have been lazy
For the past three or four weeks
I'm gonna
miss you like crazy
cause it's the last day on the beach
You would'nt let go
when you embrased me
but you we're still
way out of reach
I'm gonna
miss you like crazy
cause it's the last day on the beach
Course:
The nights have been wild
days have been lazy
for the past three or four weeks
I'm gonna
miss you like crazy
cause it's the last day on the beach
Miss you like crazy
miss you like crazy

miss you like crazy
miss you like crazy

On my first day on the beach
When I first arrived at the beach

I saw you covered in sunbeams
I noticed you basked in the sunlight

I didn't know your name
I wasn't familiar with your identity

but you looked as cool as icecream
but you seemed calm and relaxed

I said I need to see your name
I expressed my desire to know your name

just listen to my heartbeat
to gauge my level of interest

We took a ride in your car
we went for a drive together

and then we kissed in the backseat
we shared an intimate moment in the car

The nights have been wild
The nights have been exciting and unpredictable

days have been lazy
The days have been relaxed and slow-paced
