Marit Bergman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
goodbye, with a flicker I'm of again
A kiss that doesn't want to end
Oh it's all, all the same
I saying my I love you's
and the sadest voice
Saying my I love you's
I don't wanna go
I miss you, I miss you, I miss you
Oh I miss you
New York's so much colder than i thought
And I miss you miss you
Trains ,boats and planes
The same people , different names
New songs the same refrain
I miss you I miss you I miss you
Oh I miss you, how I miss you
New York's so much colder than i thought
And I miss you, Miss you
I miss the way the corner of your mouth looks when you smile
I miss the way that only you can hold me through the night
I dedicate my songs to you then I miss you even more
I miss you, oh I miss you, oh I miss you I'm coming home
Coming home, coming home
New York's so much colder than i thought and I'm coming home
Aaaaaa...
The lyrics to Marit Bergman's song "I Miss You" is a beautiful representation of the internal struggles of love and distance. The artist is bidding farewell to a loved one and reminiscing the times when they were together. The line "goodbye, with a flicker I'm off again" perfectly encapsulates the feeling of time slipping away and not being able to hold on tight. The artist wants to spend more time with their lover, but the circumstances make it impossible. They are expressing their love through their sad voice and saying their I love you's, not wanting to let go.
The repetition of "I miss you" in the chorus amplifies the feeling of longing for the loved one. The artist is acknowledging that the new environment is not as warm and comforting as their partner's embrace. The line "Trains, boats, and planes, the same people, different names, new songs, the same refrain" talks about the monotony of travel and meeting new people but feeling the same way without the loved one's presence. The artist is missing the nuances and little things about their loved one, like the way the corner of their mouth looks when they smile and how only they can hold the artist through the night.
In conclusion, the artist is struggling with the distance, missing the loved one terribly, and yearning to be with them again. The song beautifully portrays the emotions of a person in a long-distance relationship and the difficulties of being apart.
