Miss You
Foster the People Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lay down and start up
Innocence of what you are
Is what I want
I bring my colors
Drip down and drained out
Tried a million things
But my hearts been shy
I'm most tired of pacing
And I know what you want to say
So say it
Forget the words speak it just want to rearrange
So I just say it
Oh
I really miss you
Miss you
Say
Smile at the chance just to see you again
I really miss you miss you say
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Heat stroke this like
Things I think are right
I never knew I could go as far as this
I took your problem greasly forgot him
I know who I had been before I slipped
Oh I want to change it
I will live a life that makes you smile
When I'm done here in long long
Fever is peaking just want to see your face
Oh whatcha say, whatcha say?
Oh yeah
I really
Miss you
Miss you
Say
Smile at the chance to just see you again
I really miss you miss you say
So look at me now
Before I walk away
You might just miss me miss me
One day
Yeah yeah yeah
