I Miss You
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I'm in Toronto and I got this view
But I might as well be in a hotel room, yeah
It doesn't matter 'cause I'm so consumed
Oh, I'm good at keeping my distance
I know that you're the feeling I'm missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothing if I can't have you
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I'm so sorry that my timing's off
But I can't move on if we're still gonna talk
Is it wrong for me to not want half?
I want all of you, all the strings attached
Oh, I'm good at keeping my distance
I know that you're the feeling I'm missing
You know that I hate to admit it
But everything means nothing if I can't have you
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
I'm trying to move on, forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing, everything means nothing, babe
I'm trying to move on, forget you, but I hold on
Everything means nothing if I can't have you, no
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you? (Can't have you)
I can't write one song that's not about you
Can't drink without thinking about you
Is it too late to tell you that
Everything means nothing if I can't have you?
The lyrics to "If I Had You" by KIDZ BOP Kids express the intense feelings of infatuation and obsession someone can experience when they are in love with someone. The singer can't seem to escape thoughts of the person they are in love with, and everything they do seems to be connected to that person. The first verse highlights the fact that everything the singer does, such as writing a song or drinking, reminds them of the person they are in love with. The second verse discusses the idea, that despite being in a beautiful place, the singer can't fully enjoy it because they are so focused on the other person. The chorus emphasizes the idea that nothing in life matters if the singer cannot have the person they are in love with.
The bridge of the song explains the struggle of trying to move on from someone when the feelings are so strong. The singer wants all of the person, not just a part, and cannot let go because everything reminds them of that person. In the end, the singer is still holding on to the idea that they can be with the one they love, and nothing will mean anything until they have that person.
Overall, the lyrics to "If I Had You" by KIDZ BOP Kids are relatable to anyone who has experienced the feeling of being in love and infatuated with someone. The intense emotions and desire to have someone can be all-consuming, and it is challenging to move on from those feelings.
