Missing
Delano & Crockett Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I step off the train
I′m walking down your street again
And past your door
But you don't live there any more

It′s years since you've been there
But 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 (Oh)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you (Yeah)
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 (Yeah)
Like the deserts miss the rain (like the deserts miss the rain)

(And I miss you)

(And I miss you, Ohh)

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 (Oh)
Like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you (Yeah)
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)





(And I miss you, Ohh)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Missing" by Delano & Crockett express the feeling of missing someone who is gone and possibly unreachable. The singer reveals that they once walked down a particular street and past the person's door, but now that person is simply not there anymore. Even though it has been years since they have been in that place, the person has vanished into the unknown like they were in outer space. The singer desperately misses this person and feels as if their absence is as profound as the desert misses the rain.


The lyrics suggest that this person was always ahead of everyone else, and the singer was always behind, watching them run off into the distance. They ponder if this person has passed on to the other side or if they have relocated to a different place. The singer looks up at their old house and hears echoes of the person's voice. They feel a sense of sadness and longing for the old days when they could have been together.


One way to interpret the lyrics is that this is not just an expression of loss but also of longing for something that is impossible to reclaim. The desert longing for rain is a metaphor suggesting that the singer is missing something essential that is now out of reach. The song can be seen as a reminder that as we move forward in life, we will inevitably let go of people, memories, and places that we will never get back, and the feeling of missing them will remain a permanent part of us.
