Where'd You Go
Fort Minor feat. Holly Brock & Jonah Matranga Lyrics

Where'd you go? I miss you so
The singer is expressing their longing for the person who has been away for a long time

Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone
The singer feels like an indefinite period has passed since the person left

She said, "Some days, I feel like shit
The person who left is quoted as saying that they have bad days and feel terrible sometimes

Some days ,I wanna quit and just be normal for a bit"
The person who left wishes they could take a break from their busy life and be like everyone else

I don't understand why you have to always be gone
The artist is confused and concerned about why the other person is always away

I get along, but the trips always feel so long
Despite managing to cope, the singer finds it hard to bear the separation each time

And I find myself tryna stay by the phone
The singer eagerly waits by the phone, wanting to hear from the other person

'Cause your voice always helps me to not feel so alone
The artist feels comforted by the other person's voice and doesn't feel as lonely

But I feel like an idiot, workin' my day around the call
The artist feels foolish about arranging their day according to the hope of receiving a call

But when I pick up, I don't have much to say
Despite wanting to talk, the artist doesn't have much to say, perhaps due to the lack of regular communication

So, I want you to know it's a little fucked up
The singer feels frustrated and unhappy about the situation

That I'm stuck here waitin', at times debatin'
The artist feels trapped in a situation where they have to wait and sometimes question themselves

Tellin' you that I've had it with you and your career
The singer is expressing their discontent with the other person's career which seems to keep them away

Me and the rest of the family here, singing, "Where'd you go?"
The singer and their family are all feeling the void created by the other person's absence

Come back home, you know, the place where you used to live
The singer wants the other person to return to the place where they both shared happy memories

Used to barbeque up burgers and ribs
The artist is reminiscing about a time when the other person used to cook with them

Used to have a little party every Halloween with candy by the pile
The artist remembers a tradition they used to follow with the other person

But now, you only stop by every once in a while
The singer is expressing disappointment about how infrequent the other person's visits have become

Shit, I find myself just fillin' my time
The singer is admitting to feeling bored and unfulfilled in the absence of the other person

With anything to keep the thought of you from my mind
The artist is trying to distract themselves from constantly thinking about the other person

I'm doin' fine, and I'm plannin' to keep it that way
The artist is confident that they can manage without the other person and plans to continue like that

You can call me if you find that you have somethin' to say
The artist gives an invitation to the other person to call them if they feel like it

Tired of sittin' and hatin' and makin' these excuses
The singer is exhausted from feeling angry and making justifications for the other person's behavior

For why you're not around, and feeling so useless
The artist feels helpless and unimportant due to the other person's absence

It seems one thing has been true all along
The singer has made an observation about a constant truth in this situation

You don't really know what you got 'til it's gone
The singer is stating a common saying that emphasizes the importance of someone or something that's gone

I guess I've had it with you and your career
The singer has finally reached a limit with the other person's career taking up all their time

When you come back, I won't be here and you can sing it
The artist is implying that they will have moved on from the other person by the time they come back

When you made me that initial batch of songs
The artist remembers the time when the other person made them some songs

I was like, that's the shit right there
The singer was impressed by the quality of those songs

Holla
The singer ends with an informal exclamation inviting the other person to contact them
