miss you
Coby Grant Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open my eyes, see you sleeping next to me
Here in the dark, I know it was just a dream
I am alone, wishing it was christmas eve
I can't sleep

And days never end when I am away from you
And time lingers on, I count the hours and minutes too
Two weeks are left, I wonder how I will get through
I can't sleep

Tonight I am lonely
I wish you could hold me
Tell me we will be OK

I've had enough
And this hurts too much
I have been gone for so long
It's hard to breath
And I cannot think
You are the place I belong
I miss you, love
I miss your love

You are the one I want to share my life with
And I never knew there could be a love like this
What I would give if I could have one more kiss
Wait for me

Tonight I am lonely
I wish you could hold me
Tell me we will be OK

I've had enough
And this hurts too much
I have been gone for so long
It's hard to breath
And I cannot think
And you are the place I belong
And when I'm with you I feel like I could do anything at all
And when you hold me I feel like I am save and true and real and sure
And I'm always on my way to you from somewhere ‘round the world
Coming down, not long now, I'll be there soon

I've had enough
And this hurts too much
I have been gone for so long

I've had enough
And this hurts so much
I have been gone for so long
It's hard to breath
And I cannot think
You are the place I belong




I miss you, love
I miss your love
