Missing you
Declan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always catch my breathand I'm still standing here
And you're miles awayand I'm wonderin' why you leftand there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight I hear your name in certain circles
And it always makes me Smile
I spend my time thinkin' about you
And it's almost driving me wildand there's a heart that's breaking
Down this long distance Line tonight I ain't missing you at all
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say there? s a message in the wireand I'm sending you this Signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to Understand And it? s my heart that? s breaking
Down this long distance line tonight I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what my friends say And there? s a message that I? m sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can? t bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you I keep lying to myself
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what my friends say
The lyrics of "Missing You" by John Waite talk about the struggle of coping with the absence of a loved one. The singer's emotions paint the picture of a cold, lonely night where he listens to the storm raging through his heart, desperately missing the person who left him. He keeps thinking of her and her name echoes in "certain circles" in his mind, still trying to understand why she left him.
The song's chorus shows how the singer is trying not to let her absence affect him anymore. He says that he isn't missing her at all, and no matter what he says, he is trying to convince himself otherwise. The second verse reveals the depth of his feelings and how much he wants to send her a message. But, it's hopeless as he acknowledges that he has no meaning in her world now. The bridge describes how he is trying to bridge the distance between them but is stuck in a fight he is losing.
Overall, the song captures the pain of separation, desperation to connect with someone who is so far away, and the sadness of realizing that they will not return.
Line by Line Meaning
Everytime I think of you
Whenever you cross my mind
I always catch my breath and I'm still standing here
I become breathless and I remain in the same place
And you're miles away and I'm wonderin' why you left
You've gone far and I'm questioning why you departed
And there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
My heart is in turmoil and feels cold
I hear your name in certain circles and it always makes me smile
I come across your name in some places and it brings joy to me
I spend my time thinkin' about you and it's almost driving me wild
I spend most of my time contemplating about you and it's making me go crazy
And there's a heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
My heart is breaking across this long distance connection tonight
I ain't missing you at all, since you've been gone away
I'm not experiencing any sense of longing since your departure
No matter what I might say
Despite my utterances
There's a message in the wire and I'm sending you this signal tonight
I have a communication to convey via this wire and I'm sending it to you tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become and it looks like I'm losing this fight
You are unaware of my current state of hopelessness and it seems I'm not winning this battle
In your world I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand
I don't have significance in your world, even though I'm striving to comprehend
And it's my heart that's breaking down this long distance line tonight
My heart is suffering through this long distance link tonight
There's a message that I'm sending out like a telegraph to your soul
There's a message I'm transmitting like a telegraph to your inner being
And if I can't bridge this distance, stop this heartbreak overload
And if I can't eliminate this distance, I'll put an end to this overwhelming heartache
I keep lying to myself and there's a storm that's raging through my frozen heart tonight
I continue to deceive myself and my heart is in turmoil, feels cold
I ain't missing you at all, since you've been gone away
I'm not experiencing any sense of longing since your departure
No matter what my friends say
Despite what my friends tell me
I ain't missing you, I ain't missing you
I'm not longing for you
