Miss You
Louis Tomlinson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it something that I'm taking?
All the smiles that I'm faking
Everything is great
Everything is fucking great
Going out every weekend
Staring at the stars or the ceiling
Such a good time
I believe it this time
Tuesday night
Glazed over eyes
Just one more pint or five
Does it even matter anyway?
We're dancing on tables
'Til I'm off my face
With all of my people
And it couldn't get better they say
We're singing "til last call
And it's all out of tune
Should be laughing, but there's something wrong
And it hits you when the lights go on
Shit, maybe I miss you
Just like that and I'm sober
I'm asking myself, is it over?
Maybe I was lying when I told you
"Everything is great
Everything is fucking great"
And all of these thoughts and the feeling
Doesn't matter if you don't need them
I've been checking my phone all evening
Such a good time
I believe it this time
Tuesday night
Glazed over eyes
Just one more pint or five
Does it even matter anyway?
We're dancing on tables
'Til I'm off my face
With all of my people
And it couldn't get better they say
We're singing 'til last call
And it's all out of tune
Should be laughing, but there's something wrong
And it hits you when the lights go on
Shit, maybe I miss you
Now I'm asking my friends how I should say I'm sorry
They say "Lad, give it time, there's no need to worry"
And we can't even be on the phone now
And I can't even be with you alone now
Oh how, shit changes
We were in love
Now, we're strangers
When I feel it coming up I just throw it all away
Get another two shots 'cause it doesn't matter anyway
We're dancing on tables
'Til I'm off my face
With all of my people
And it couldn't get better they say
We're singing 'til last call
And it's all out of tune
Should be laughing, but there's something wrong
And it hits you when the lights go on
We're dancing on tables
'Til I'm off my face
With all of my people
And it couldn't get better they say
We're singing 'til last call
And it's all out of tune
Should be laughing, but there's something wrong
And it hits you when the lights go on
Shit, maybe I'll miss you

He then goes on to say that he has been checking his phone all evening indicating that he might be waiting for a call or a message from his former lover. The song ends with Tomlinson admitting that he misses his lover and thinking about ways to apologize, but he knows deep down that things have changed between them.
Overall, "Miss You" is a relatable song to anyone who has gone through a breakup. It captures the conflicting emotions, momentary highs and persistent sadness that comes with the end of a relationship.
