Where'd You Go
Fort Minor feat. Chester Bennington Lyrics

Where'd you go?
Asking where the person has gone.

I miss you so
Expressing how much the person is missed.

Seems like it's been forever
Feels like they have been gone for a very long time.

That you've been gone
Reiterating that the person has been absent for a while.

She said, "Some days I feel like shit"
Quoting the other person who is not present, revealing their emotional struggles.

Some days I wanna quit, and just be normal for a bit"
Expressing the desire to take a break from their current lifestyle and responsibilities.

I don't understand why you have to always be gone
Expressing confusion and sadness about the person always being away.

I get along but the trips always feel so long
Saying that they are managing, but the time apart feels like an eternity.

And, I find myself tryna stay by the phone
Admitting to constantly waiting for the person to call.

'Cause your voice always helps me when I feel so alone
Explaining that hearing their voice is comforting when feeling lonely.

But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call
Acknowledging that rearranging their schedule to wait for a call seems foolish.

But when I pick up I don't have much to say
Admitting to feeling tongue-tied when they finally do speak.

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

That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin'
Saying they are often left contemplating and questioning the situation.

Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career
Suggesting that the person's career is a source of frustration and resentment.

Me and the rest of the family here singing "Where'd you go?"
Specifying that the whole family is feeling the same way of missing the person.

You know the place where you used to live
Starting off by reminiscing about the place where they used to live together.

Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs
Recalling specific memories that took place in that location.

Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile
Sharing another happy memory with the person.

But now, you only stop by every once in a while
Noticing that the person does not come around as frequently anymore.

Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time
Acknowledging that they are now finding other ways to occupy their time.

Anything to keep the thought of you from my mind
Expressing the idea that it hurts too much to miss the person.

I'm doin' fine, I plan to keep it that way
Explaining that they are doing okay, but still wish things were different.

You can call me if you find you have somethin' to say
Leaving the door open for communication if the person wants to talk.

And I'll tell you, I want you to know it's a little fucked up
Repeating that the situation is not a good one.

When you come back I won't be here and you'll can sing it
Suggesting that if and when the person comes back, they will have already given up and moved on.

Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses
Expressing a sense of tiredness and negativity about the situation.

For while you're not around, and feeling so useless
Admitting to feeling useless in the absence of the person.

It seems one thing has been true all along
Reflecting on an important realization.

You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone
Acknowledging that the person did not realize how important the other person was until they were gone.

Please come back home
Expressing the hope that the person will return home soon.
