How Can I Miss You
Nelson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Who struck a deal to be discreet
We're both adults - We knew the rules
Some passions burn as quick as the cool
Yeah, sure, you curled my toes and you made me see God
We even had a crowd, they'd have stood to applaud
The earth moved beneath us and the planets aligned
But all that aside, when I left that implied
That you'd go your way and that I'd go mine
I fantasized we'd have distance and time
And I'd send you diamonds - I'd send you pearls
I'd send your favorite flowers from the edge of the world
I would write you a song each day that speaks of the ache in my heart every day we're apart
I would call upon the hour 24 times a day
Just to hear your voice on your voice mail play
I'd be counting down the seconds until my next chance to kiss you
But how can I miss you - whoah - when you won't go away?
Want my opinion? To tell the truth...
It's like you're wearing a Velcro suit
Can't move an inch without you there
Can't say goodbye 'cause you've stolen my air
Now I've got me a shadow where my shadow used to be
When all I wanted was a memory
Just give me some room before lust turns to hate
I'd rather starve than suffocate
I'd send you diamonds - I'd send you pearls
I'd send your favorite flowers from the edge of the world
I would write you a song each day that speaks of the ache in my heart every day we're apart
I would call upon the hour 24 times a day
Just to hear your voice on your voice mail play
I'd be counting down the seconds until my next chance to kiss you
But how can I miss you - whoah - when you won't go away?
I've forgotten where I begin and you end
So let me
Just send you diamonds - I'll send you pearls
I'd send your favorite flowers from the edge of the world
I would write you a song each day that speaks of the ache in my heart
every day we're apart
I would call upon the hour 24 times a day
Just to hear your voice on your voice mail play
I'd be counting down the seconds until my next chance to kiss you
But how can I miss you - whoah - when you won't go away?
The song "How Can I Miss You" by Nelson is a story of two people who had a passionate but brief encounter, but one of them can't seem to move on. The song starts with the two ships passing reference, indicating a fleeting moment when they met and decided to keep their connection a secret. The singer acknowledges that they both knew the rules, i.e., they both agreed to keep things casual and not let emotions get in the way, but as the relationship progressed, their passion grew more intense. Despite the intense connection, they left things implied and went their separate ways. The singer fantasizes about sending diamonds, pearls, and flowers to the other person, writing songs about their ache, and calling them 24 times a day just to hear their voice. But the sweet sentimentality is tempered with the realization that the other person won't go away, leaving the singer feeling suffocated and unable to move forward.
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of the emotional turmoil the singer is experiencing. The chorus is a blend of longing and frustration as the singer cannot get the other person out of their mind despite their best efforts to move on. The verses use metaphors like two ships passing and Velcro suits to convey the fleeting nature of their relationship and the way the other person is stuck to them. The lyrics also showcase the singer's struggle to balance their intense emotions with the reality of the situation.
Overall, "How Can I Miss You" is a poignant song that captures the intensity and confusion of a brief but passionate relationship that lingers on in the heart and mind of the singer.
Line by Line Meaning
We were two ships passing that stopped to meet
We were strangers who briefly came together for a moment in time
Who struck a deal to be discreet
We agreed to keep our encounter a secret
We're both adults - We knew the rules
We understood the consequences of our actions
Some passions burn as quick as the cool
Some intense feelings fade away as quickly as they arise
Yeah, sure, you curled my toes and you made me see God
You made me feel euphoric and intensely pleasured
We even had a crowd, they'd have stood to applaud
Our passion was so intense that it would have impressed and amazed others
The earth moved beneath us and the planets aligned
Our physical connection was so powerful that it felt like a cosmic event
We did what could make all the saints go blind
Our actions were so sensual and intense that they could be considered sinful
But all that aside, when I left that implied
Despite our intense connection, we knew it would be temporary
That you'd go your way and that I'd go mine
We knew that we had to part ways and move on with our lives
I fantasized we'd have distance and time
I had hoped that we could have a romanticized version of a long-distance relationship
And I'd send you diamonds - I'd send you pearls
I would shower you with luxurious gifts from all over the world
I'd send your favorite flowers from the edge of the world
I would do everything in my power to make you feel loved and appreciated
I would write you a song each day that speaks of the ache in my heart every day we're apart
I would express my feelings for you through heartfelt and emotional songs
I would call upon the hour 24 times a day
I would want to speak with you constantly, every hour of every day
Just to hear your voice on your voice mail play
Even if I could only hear your recorded voice, it would bring me comfort and happiness
I'd be counting down the seconds until my next chance to kiss you
I would eagerly anticipate our next physical encounter
But how can I miss you - whoah - when you won't go away?
I'm unable to miss you because you're always present, suffocating me
Want my opinion? To tell the truth...
To be honest, this is how I really feel
It's like you're wearing a Velcro suit
You're stuck to me and I can't shake you off
Can't move an inch without you there
You're always on my mind and I feel like I can't function without you
Can't say goodbye 'cause you've stolen my air
I can't bear to be away from you because you've become such an integral part of my life
Now I've got me a shadow where my shadow used to be
You've become such a huge part of my life that it's like you're always with me
When all I wanted was a memory
All I wanted was a fleeting, pleasant memory, but now I'm suffocating
Just give me some room before lust turns to hate
I need some space before my once passionate feelings turn into resentment
I'd rather starve than suffocate
I would rather suffer and be without you than continue to feel suffocated by your presence
I've forgotten where I begin and you end
Our lives are so intertwined that I can't differentiate where I start and you begin
