What You're Missing
Chicago Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were looking for an answer; you were out the door.
I didn't know what you were after. I knew you had to take a chance, girl.
Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no.
Oh, what you're missing could have been yours from the start.
You won't listen when it's coming from the heart.
Now you're missing me.
Had some crazy conversations. You know they seemed so right.
Remember how it used to keep us up all night?
I didn't know what you were after. Maybe there never was an answer.
Did you forget about the laughter? Say oh, oh no.
Oh, what you're missing could have been yours from the start.
You won't listen when it's coming from the heart.
Now you're missing me.
You'll find that out when we're apart.
The lyrics to Chicago's song What You're Missing tell the story of a failed relationship. The singer reminisces about how all they wanted was each other and how they used to stay up all night having crazy conversations that seemed so right. However, the other person was looking for an answer and was ultimately heading out the door. The singer didn't know what the other person was after but knew they had to take a chance. The singer feels that the other person has forgotten about the laughter and missed out on something that could have been theirs from the start. The singer believes that the other person won't listen to what's coming from the heart and that they'll only realize what they're missing once they're apart.
The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has been in a relationship that didn't work out. The singer conveys a sense of disappointment but doesn't come across as resentful. The chorus is particularly poignant, with the line "you won't listen when it's coming from the heart" capturing the frustration of trying to communicate with a partner who doesn't want to listen. Overall, the song is a beautiful portrayal of the complexities of love and relationships.

on Oh, Thank You Great Spirit
Great song and a fitting tribute to Jimi from his friend and fan Terry Kath, I've all ways believed the song was kind of a prospective of the dead, coming to the realization that they have crossed over and or no longer burden by all of life's problem's and pain's and are now free from all, and now overcome with gratitude to the Great Spirit , Greater of the universe and of life , GOD, that he is now free to fly the heavenly sky's , but ether way death or just a good night's sleep, great song.
