Missing
Chris van Dutch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door, but you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
Now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
Like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead, of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
Back on the train, I ask why did I come again?
Can I confess, I've been hanging round your old address?
And the years have proved
To offer, nothing since you've moved
You're long gone, but I can't move on
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street again
And past your door, I guess you don't live there anymore
It's years since you've been there
And now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space
You've found some better place
And I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, and I miss you
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, yeah
Like the deserts miss the rain
The deserts miss the rain
Like the deserts miss the rain
Like the deserts miss the rain
Like the deserts miss the rain
The song "Missing" by Chris van Dutch is a melancholic love song that speaks of missing someone who has moved on and disappeared from the singer's life. The first verse describes the singer's arrival at the old address of the person they miss. They remember how the person used to be there but has now disappeared like they've found a better place, and this leaves the singer with a sense of longing and emptiness. The image of deserts missing the rain is used as a simile to convey the extent of the singer's feelings for the missing person.
In the second verse, the singer asks themselves why they came back to this place, realizing that nothing has changed since the person left. They confess that they have been hanging around the old address, unable to move on even though the years have passed. The final chorus repeats the same lines, emphasizing the depth of regret and emotions for the person who has disappeared.
The song conveys a sense of loss and nostalgic yearning for someone who has moved on. It speaks to the human experience of holding onto memories and feelings for someone who is no longer with us. Despite the sadness of the lyrics, the song is also very catchy and memorable, making it a popular dance track in many clubs and parties.
