Missing you
Letters And Lights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With all the time that I will think,
About you
But I, I'll just sing a melody
Simple like it needs to be,
For you.
But it kills me that you won't see
Fit perfectly, underneath
Remember autumn days and summer nights
The mess we made with the pointless fights
It's all that I pray, wish you didn't say,
Goodbye to rain and city lights
Well now you're gone and I don't know what I will do,
I'm missing you, I'm missing you
I, I could write a melody,
'Cause I can hear the ocean breathe,
In harmony
Yeah, I, I can hear the Evergreens,
Singing slightly out of key,
With me
Singing, we are meant to be
You're a flower,
I'm the bee
Girl,
This distance is killing me
Remember autumn days and summer nights
The mess we made with the pointless fights
It's all that I pray, wish you didn't say,
Goodbye to rain and city lights
Well now you're gone and I don't what I will do,
I'm missing you, I'm missing you
Goodbye (X3)
Maybe I'll make believe, that we're holding tight
Like we used to do, almost every night
And now everytime I close my eyes
I picture you and all the times
We smiled and laughed and lied and cried
Under the stars I saw in your eyes
They're deep and blue just like the sea
They pulled me in and now I'm drowning
Save me, save me
Just give me anything at all
Anything at all!
Autumn days and summer nights
The mess we made with the pointless fights
It's all that I pray, wish you didn't say
Goodbye to rain and city lights
Well now you're gone and I don't know what I will do
I'm missing you, I'm missing you

Thinking about you takes too much time, but I'll still express my feelings in a simpler way through a song.
But it kills me that you won't see
The same blue sky together we,
Fit perfectly, underneath
It's sad that we can't share the same view of the sky, which perfectly fits us, anymore.

I find music as a perfect way to express myself, even if only the sounds of the sea and forests with me are in harmony.

Girl,
This distance is killing me
I believe that we are supposed to be together like flowers and bees, but the distance between us makes it hard for me to cope.
Maybe I'll make believe, that we're holding tight
Like we used to do, almost every night
And now everytime I close my eyes
I picture you and all the times
We smiled and laughed and lied and cried
Under the stars I saw in your eyes
They're deep and blue just like the sea
They pulled me in and now I'm drowning
Save me, save me
Just give me anything at all
Anything at all!
I still imagine us holding each other like we used to, and I'm drowning in the memories of the times we shared. All I want is anything that will help me forget the pain of losing you.
Goodbye (X3)
I can't help but say goodbye over and over again because I'm still reeling from the loss of you.
