Missin' and Wishin'
Drew Jacobs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see your number on my phone
And I think maybe I should give you a call
If you were here it wouldn't be
This glass of whiskey and just me
And maybe I wouldn't hurt at all
I wouldn't be missin' and wishin' that I was kissing you
Every single song, every memory that we made
I wouldn't be cussing and bitching
Yelling and breaking shit
Screaming out your name and throwing fits
Every night I hear you whisper in my dreams
Baby, I'll still love you
Even though you're not loving me
I see the way you look at him
I remember when you looked at me
And said, "Baby, you're my only one"
If you were here it wouldn't be
These broken memories and just me
And maybe I wouldn't hurt at all
I wouldn't be missin' and wishin' that I was kissing you
Reminiscing and listening to all your favorite tunes
Every single song, every memory that we made
I wouldn't be cussing and bitching
Yelling and breaking shit
Screaming out your name and throwing fits
Every night I hear you whisper in my dreams
Baby, I'll still love you
Even though you're not loving me
All those days I spend alone
Just thinking about you
All those nights I spend alone
Just dreaming about you
And I'm wishing you were here
'Cause then I wouldn't be missin' and wishin' that I was kissing you
Reminiscing and listening to all your favorite tunes
Every single song, every memory that we made
I wouldn't be cussing and bitching
Yelling and breaking shit
Screaming out your name and throwing fits
Every night I hear you whisper in my dreams
'Cause girl I wouldn't be missin' and wishin' that I was kissing you
Reminiscing and listening to all your favorite tunes
Every single song, every memory that we made
'Cause then I wouldn't be cussing and bitching
Yelling and breaking shit
Screaming out your name and throwing fits
Every night I hear you whisper in my dreams
Baby, I'll still love you
Even though you're not loving me
The song "Missin' and Wishin'" by Drew Jacobs is about a man who is struggling to move on from a past relationship. The opening lines set the scene late at night when the singer sees his ex-partner's phone number on his phone and is tempted to call. He is feeling lonely and would prefer not to be drinking whiskey alone if she were with him. The chorus reveals that he misses her deeply and wishes he were kissing her. He spends a lot of time thinking and dreaming of her, and the memories of their relationship are painful for him. The second verse mentions the singer seeing how his ex-partner looks at her current partner, reminding him of how she used to look at him. Despite this, he still loves her, even though she does not love him in return.
The song's chorus is incredibly emotive as the singer expresses how he wouldn't be "missin' and wishin'" if his ex-partner were with him. This phrase is repeated several times throughout the song, emphasizing the depth of his feelings. The use of alliteration with "cussing and bitching" and "yelling and breaking shit" adds to the intensity of the emotions described. The lyrics paint the picture of a person who is struggling to move on from a past relationship and is consumed by thoughts of their ex-partner.

It's late at night, I'm all alone
I'm alone at night and feeling lonely
I see your number on my phone
I see your phone number and I'm tempted to call you
And I think maybe I should give you a call
I'm considering calling you right now
If you were here it wouldn't be
If you were here with me, I wouldn't feel so lonely
This glass of whiskey and just me
I wouldn't be sitting here drinking alone
And maybe I wouldn't hurt at all
Maybe I wouldn't feel so much pain
I wouldn't be missin' and wishin' that I was kissing you
I wouldn't be longing for your presence and wishing for a kiss from you
Reminiscing and listening to all your favorite tunes
I wouldn't be listening to music that reminds me of you, and reliving our memories together
Every single song, every memory that we made
Every song and every memory of us together would not be hurting me so badly
I wouldn't be cussing and bitching
I wouldn't be cursing, complaining, and throwing tantrums
Yelling and breaking shit
I wouldn't be shouting and destroying things out of frustration
Screaming out your name and throwing fits
I wouldn't be screaming your name and having a fit
Every night I hear you whisper in my dreams
Every night I dream of you whispering your love to me
Baby, I'll still love you
I will always love you
Even though you're not loving me
Even though you don't love me in return
I see the way you look at him
I see the way you look at your new lover
I remember when you looked at me
I remember the way you looked at me when we were in love
And said, "Baby, you're my only one"
And you said I was the only one for you
If you were here it wouldn't be
If you were here with me, I wouldn't be missing you so much
These broken memories and just me
I wouldn't be struggling with these painful memories by myself
All those days I spend alone
All the days I spend alone thinking about you
Just thinking about you
Only thinking about you
All those nights I spend alone
All the nights I spend alone dreaming about you
Just dreaming about you
Only dreaming about you
And I'm wishing you were here
I'm wishing that you were here with me right now
'Cause then I wouldn't be missin' and wishin' that I was kissing you
If you were here with me, I wouldn't be missing you and wishing for your kiss
Girl I wouldn't be missin' and wishin' that I was kissing you
My longing for you would disappear if you were here with me
Baby, I'll still love you
I will always love you
Even though you're not loving me
Even though you don't love me in return

8 years together, 2 years of marriage , two kids and now all I'm left with is memories. Going on a year next month, and that pain is still deep.
Great song.

Sorry to hear bro.
I was married to a narcissistic alcoholic for 33 yrs, married 27 of them, who cheated quite a bit.
We met in HS, thought she would be my forever...boy was that a joke.
We had 4 kids together, not sure if the 1st one is biologically mine, since she said it was her sister's bf's kid....
But I stayed bc I didn't want my kids to have every Tom, Divk, & Harry around, & I wanted to be there for my kids.
Once my youngest turned 18, the wife left, divorced me, & is now married to another guy, that she is using, bc her lazy ass needed a roof over her head.
I was sad at 1st, but my kids have been there for me, & now I see, it was the best thing f8r me now.
Wish u the best!

The worst part is when you still love them no matter the pain they've put you through you still love them and can't get over them 😭
@andrewchadwell2759
Brooklyn Rogers fucking right? It’s like you swear to the gods in the sky and to your last breath that you’ll never let them into your life in any way ever again then as soon as they call months after completely shutting you out of their life you just talk to them like nothing ever happened at all.
😩 what’s worse is when you are still very much the mess that they made you when they left and you hide that because you can tell they have been just fine without you and are over it all already
@jeremyknight9659
So true it hurts
@nbagrfx2189
Yeah, totally understand.
@nbagrfx2189
Happened with my ex of 3 years, still love her. But I'm trying my hardest to not think about her. This is the first Christmas, coming up, that I wasn't with her. Hurts because you let someone know everything about you and they turn that on you. Riverdale was right, I watch with my sister lmao, you shouldn't tell your significant other your fears, secrets, etc... because they end up using them against you.
