I Miss You
Clean Bandit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you're out in Cabo
Hanging with your brother
Wishin' that I was your bottle
So I could be close to your lips again
I know you didn't call your parents
And tell them that we ended
'Cause you know that they'd be offended
Did you not wanna tell them it's the end

And I know we're not supposed to talk
But I'm getting ahead of myself
I get scared when we're not
'Cause I'm scared you're with somebody else
So I guess that it's gone
And I just keep lying to myself
I can't believe it

I, I miss you, yeah I miss you
I miss you, yeah I miss you, oh I do
I miss you, yeah I miss you
Though I'm tryin' not to right now

You weren't a fan of pictures
So I hardly ever took 'em
Got them saved in my mind from the bedroom
So that way I can't forget your skin
So I saved all the texts
All of the best over the years
Just to remind myself
Of how good it is
Or was

And I know we're not supposed to talk
But I'm getting ahead of myself
I get scared when we're not
'Cause I'm scared you're with somebody else
So I guess that it is gone
And I just keep lying to myself
I can't believe it

I, I miss you, yeah I miss you
I miss you, yeah I miss you, oh I do
I miss you, yeah I miss you
Though I'm tryin' not to right now

So I saved all the texts
All of the best over the years
Just to remind myself
Of how good it is
Yeah, I saved all the texts off of my ex
Minus the tears
Just to remind myself
Of how good it is
Or was

'Cause I miss you, yeah I miss you
I miss you, yeah I miss you, oh I do
I miss you, yeah I miss you

Though I'm tryin' not to right now
I can't help it, I just

The lyrics of Clean Bandit's "I Miss You" as a whole speak about a person's longing for their ex-lover. The song talks about the memories and moments that the singer and their partner shared, reminding themselves of how good it was. The first verse talks about the singer's knowledge of his ex-partner's whereabouts, which is in Cabo with her brother.

As for the second verse, the singer talks about how they are not supposed to communicate with each other anymore, but he still saves all the text messages that they shared all through the years, reminding themselves of how good things were.

Line by Line Meaning

I know you're out in Cabo
I'm aware that you're in Cabo


Hanging with your brother
Spending time with your sibling


Wishin' that I was your bottle
Desiring to have me close to your lips physically


So I could be close to your lips again
So that I can be close to your mouth again


I know you didn't call your parents
I'm aware that you didn't notify your folks


And tell them that we ended
And inform them that our relationship is over


'Cause you know that they'd be offended
Because you understand that they would be hurt or displeased by our separation


Did you not wanna tell them it's the end
Did you not want to inform them that our relationship is over?


And I know we're not supposed to talk
I understand that communication between us is not recommended


But I'm getting ahead of myself
But I'm jumping to conclusions too quickly


I get scared when we're not
I'm frightened when we're not together


'Cause I'm scared you're with somebody else
Because I'm afraid you're with someone else


So I guess that it's gone
So I suppose that our relationship is over


And I just keep lying to myself
And I just keep deceiving myself


I can't believe it
I can't accept that it's over


I, I miss you, yeah I miss you
I'm longing for you, yes, I am missing you


Though I'm tryin' not to right now
Even though I'm attempting not to think of you at the moment


You weren't a fan of pictures
You didn't like taking photos


So I hardly ever took 'em
So I barely took any


Got them saved in my mind from the bedroom
I have them stored in my memory from our intimate moments together


So that way I can't forget your skin
So that way I won't forget your body's touch and texture


So I saved all the texts
So I saved all of the messages


All of the best over the years
All of the most meaningful ones over the years


Just to remind myself
Just to refresh my memory


Of how good it is
Of how wonderful our relationship was


Or was
Or used to be


'Cause I miss you, yeah I miss you
Because I miss you, yes, I am missing you


Though I'm tryin' not to right now
Even though I'm attempting not to think of you at the moment


I can't help it, I just
I can't control it, I just
