I Miss You
Nathan Wagner Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryna figure out this wreck
You're never around
Always choose something instead
Said you′re here for me
That that always will be true
Still no vacancy
No you're never here to prove
I don't want you to run away
But you′re fading out of sight
Haven′t seen you for an eternity
Are you leaving me behind
Been needing you so desperately
But you never make the time
Can't you see what you do to me
Are you leaving me behind
I should be used to it the
Emptiness when the
Ones you love all
Feel so distant
Seasons change no
Face to face
How I miss you
How I miss you
Leaves they fall then
Snow it comes just
Short connections
Hi bye done
Memories plague of
What once was
How I miss you
How I miss you
I don′t want you to run away
But you're fading out of sight
Haven′t seen you for an eternity
Are you leaving me behind
Been needing you so desperately
But you never make the time
Can't you see what you do to me
Are you leaving me behind
Tell me everything′s alright
I need you here tonight
I need you here tonight
The lyrics of Nathan Wagner's song "I Miss You" express the confusion and pain of longing for someone who is never there for you. The singer is in a mess trying to make sense of the situation, as the person he loves is never around and always chooses something else over him. Despite their promise to always be there, there seems to be no room for him, and they are never there to prove their commitment. The chorus is a plea for them not to go, as the singer is feeling left behind and forgotten, wishing desperately for their presence and attention.
The second verse describes how the passing of time only intensifies the feeling of absence, as each season comes and goes with no face-to-face connections. Memories of the past keep plaguing the singer's mind, reminding them of what once was and how they used to miss them. The chorus is then repeated, with the repeated plea for the person he loves to stay and to be present in his life.

I’m a mess right now
I am in a state of disarray at present
Tryna figure out this wreck
Trying to make sense of this chaos
You're never around
You are always absent
Always choose something instead
You always prioritize something else over me
Said you're here for me
You claimed that you'll always be there for me
That that always will be true
You promised it would be true forever
Still no vacancy
However, you are still not present
No you're never here to prove
You never show up to actually prove your love
I don't want you to run away
I do not wish for you to abandon me
But you're fading out of sight
But you are gradually disappearing from my vision
Haven't seen you for an eternity
I haven't seen you in a very long time
Are you leaving me behind
Are you abandoning me and moving ahead?
Been needing you so desperately
I have been requiring your presence very deeply
But you never make the time
But you never put aside time for me
Can't you see what you do to me
Can't you see how much you are hurting me?
Tell me everything's alright
Assure me that everything is okay
I need you here tonight
I require your presence tonight
Leaves they fall then
Leaves fall and then
Snow it comes just
Snow arrives briefly
Short connections
Brief interactions
Hi bye done
Greetings and farewells done
Memories plague of what once was
Memories of what we once had haunt me
How I miss you
Oh, how I long for you
Seasons change no
Seasons transition but
Face to face
In-person meetings
How I miss you
Oh, how I long for you
I need you here tonight
I require your presence tonight

Small talks hard for me. Always longing for something deeper. Crazy how you can have continual encounters with people but they can still feel so far away. Hope you like "I Miss You." Love you all!
@harasama7738
Some , are suffering to find time for themselves, so they left themselves behind before anyone else , but still hurt in very cold way

I know it may sound cliche and these comments are pretty regular but I genuinely pressed pause on the video and and the lyrics are on the screen.
