Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
cause I can not hold you tight
I wish I could see you tomorrow
To take all this sorrow
When I touch you
Can you feel it
When I need you
Can you give it
Can you see me
When I fall
Will you catch me
Catch me
Catch me
CHORUS
Misery is what I feel,
When you're not around,
So I can heal,
Misery is what I feel,
Is what I feel,
Is what I feel
Misery is what I feel,
When your not around,
So I can heal.
These tears on my face
Are for you
I wish that I could
Hold you, touch you, feel you
I'm waiting can't you see
I wish you could hold me, touch me, feel me
When I touch you
Can you feel it
When i need you
Can you give it
When I look in your eyes
Can you see me
When I fall
Will you catch me
Catch me
Catch me

36 years old about to start crying of hapoiness as I go through this 90s nostalgia
Damn, the days
No social media, barely any internet.
The days we used to go out and play with each other one on one
Now society has mostly turned into mysery
bekas sarjana 9005
Meskipun sudah begitu lama
Even though it's been so long
Cintaku padamu terus kuat
My love for you keeps going strong
Aku ingat hal-hal yang biasa kita lakukan
I remember the things that we used to do
Ciuman di tengah hujan sampai matahari bersinar
A kiss in the rain 'til the sun shine through
Aku mencoba untuk menyangkalnya, tapi aku masih mencintaimu
I tried to deny it, but I'm still in love with you
Aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila, aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila
I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Sejak kamu pergi
Ever since you went away
Setiap jam setiap hari
Every hour of every day
Aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila
I miss you like crazy
Aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila
I miss you like crazy
Tidak peduli apa yang saya katakan atau lakukan
No matter what I say or do
Tidak ada yang bisa melupakanmu
There's just no getting over you
Aku bisa melihat cinta bersinar di matamu
I can see the love shining in your eyes
Dan itu datang sebagai kejutan yang manis
And it comes as such a sweet surprise
Jika melihat itu percaya, itu sepadan dengan menunggu
If seeing's believing, it's worth the wait
Jadi pegang aku dan katakan padaku ini belum terlambat
So hold me and tell me it's not too late
Kami sangat baik bersama, kami memulai selamanya sekarang
We're so good together, we're starting forever now
Dan aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila, aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Sejak kamu pergi, setiap jam setiap hari
Ever since you went away, every hour of every day
Aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila, aku merindukanmu, sayang
I miss you like crazy, I miss you, baby
Cinta seperti kita tidak akan pernah berakhir
A love like ours will never end
Sentuh saja aku dan kita di sana lagi
Just touch me and we're there again
Hanya satu malam
Just one night
Dan kita akan memiliki perasaan ajaib seperti dulu
And we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do
Pegang erat-erat
Hold on tight
Dan apapun yang menghadang kita, kita akan berhasil melewatinya
And whatever comes our way, we're gonna make it through
Jika melihat itu percaya, itu sepadan dengan menunggu
If seeing's believing, it's worth the wait
Jadi pegang aku dan katakan padaku ini belum terlambat
So hold me and tell me it's not too late
Kami sangat baik bersama, kami memulai selamanya sekarang
We're so good together, we're starting forever now
Dan aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila, aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila
And I miss you like crazy, I miss you like crazy
Tidak peduli apa yang saya katakan atau lakukan
No matter what I say or do
Tidak ada yang bisa melupakanmu
There's just no getting over you
Dan aku merindukanmu, sayang, aku merindukanmu, sayang
And I miss you, baby, I miss you, baby
Semua cinta lembut yang kau berikan padaku
All the tender love you gave me
Saat perasaan menjadi sekuat ini
When a feeling gets this strong
Anda tahu hal yang sebenarnya datang
You know the real thing come along
Dan aku kangen kamu
And I miss you
Aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila, sayang
I miss you like crazy, baby
Hanya cinta manismu yang bisa menyelamatkanku
Only your sweet love can save me
Aku merindukanmu seperti orang gila
I miss you like crazy
Cinta seperti kita tidak akan pernah berakhir
A love like ours will never end

For all us fans, its so sad we never got a Moffatt-Hanson collaboration. Its still not too late, though! Both bands of brothers are still incredibly talented, both have made great music in recent years, both are still beloved by those of us who grew up with them...

Went down the rabbit hole of listening to all the pop bands I did as a young teenager. I'm now almost 39 and this song was a gem! Probably my favorite Moffatts song.
