Where'd You Go
Fort Minor Feat. Holly Brook & Jonah Matanga Lyrics

Where'd you go?
Asking where the person went and why they are not around anymore

I miss you so,
Expressing a deep feeling of longing and sadness for the person's absence

Seems like it's been forever,
The period of time the person has been gone feels like an eternity

That you've been gone.
Stating that the person has been absent for a significant amount of time

She said "Some days I feel like shit,
The person being missed is talking, expressing feelings of being down and defeated at times

Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit,"
Wanting to take a break from their career and live a regular life for a while

I don't understand why you have to always be gone,
Questioning the reason for the person's constant absence and wishing they were around more often

I get along but the trips always feel so long,
Able to manage without the person, but the time apart feels endless

And, I find myself tryna stay by the phone,
Waiting by the phone in hopes of receiving a call or message from the person

'Cause your voice always helps me when I feel so alone,
The person's voice serves as a comfort during times of loneliness

But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call,
Feeling foolish for gearing their schedule towards the expected phone call

But when I pick up I don't have much to say,
Despite waiting by the phone, there's not much to talk about when the call is received

So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
Admitting that the situation is not ideal or messed up

That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin',
Feeling trapped while waiting for the person and sometimes questioning if it's worth it

Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career,
Expressing frustration towards the person's job and the effect it has on their relationship

Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
Using music to express how much they miss the person's presence

You know the place where you used to live,
Bringing up memories of where the person used to reside

Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs,
Recalling a specific activity that was done together

Used to have a little party every Hallowe'en with candy by the pile,
Remembering a yearly tradition that involved sweet treats

But now, you only stop by every once in a while,
Noticing how infrequent the person's visits have become

Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time,
Feeling bored or unoccupied while waiting for the person to return

Anything to keep the thought of you from my mind,
Engaging in activities to distract from thoughts of the person

I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way,
Putting up a front and pretending to be okay without the person

You can call me if you find you have somethin' to say,
Offering the opportunity for the person to reach out if they need to talk

And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up,
Admitting to the messed up situation once again

Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
Reiterating the family's longing and missing of the person's presence

Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses,
Expressing exhaustion for negativity and making excuses

For while you're not around, and feeling so useless,
Feeling worthless while waiting for the person to return

It seems one thing has been true all along,
Realizing that one thing has been constant throughout the situation

You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone,
Appreciating what was lost once it's already gone

I guess I've had it with you and your career,
Reaffirming the frustration towards the person's job

When you come back I won't be here and you'll can sing it
Implying that the person has waited long enough and is no longer interested in staying

Please come back home
A plea for the person to return

Please come back home
Reiterating the plea for the person to come back

Please come back home
Expressing the desire for the person to return once again

Please come back home
The final plea for the person's return
