miss you
Ringside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can not be where the weather is fair
With you on the ground, me in the air
But whistling and just drink up restless hearts
I can still taste the last call, still feel the bar
And plotting the managers and fast open cars
To pick out the potions
I like the others to believe we were born
To bleed at the borders, to sleep with the storm
I must confess I've laid down a stronger man,
I dare not go
but I miss you, and I miss you
There is nothing I can take
There is nothing I can do
To keep from running away
I know what I've lost, on this quiet night
Still felt your grasp upon me, as a border flight
And I watched you there in the window, wondered how long you'd stay
Waving your arms at the jungle, as it tore us both away
Wish I could just turn myself around
Follow my heart back to you on the ground
I know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
but I miss you, and I miss you
There is nothing I can take
There is nothing I can do
To keep from running away, at any cost
To keep from turning around, just to see what I lost
oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo
but I miss you, and I'll miss you
There is nothing I can take
There is nothing I can do
To keep from running away, at any cost
To keep from turning around, just to see what I lost
(oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo)
Wish I could just turn myself around
Follow my heart back to you on the ground
I know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
(oooooo ooooo, ooooo oooo, oooo o oo, oooo oo oooo)
Wish I could just turn myself around
Follow my heart back to you on the ground
I know just for tonight, it's harder to hear than to goodbye
The song "Miss You" by Ringside explores the struggle of a person torn between living their dreams and being with the person they love. The first few lines suggest that the singer cannot be in the same place as their significant other because of their career or pursuit of their dreams. While they are away, they try to drink and whistle to calm their restless heart, but they cannot forget the last time they saw each other and the feeling of being at a bar without their loved one.
The singer then talks about how they like to give the illusion that they were born to bleed at the borders and sleep with the storm, suggesting that they enjoy the chaos and ambiguity of their life. They admit to laying down a stronger man and not daring to go back to their loved one. However, despite all of this, they cannot help but miss the person they love and feel like they cannot do anything to be with them again. The song ends on a note of regret and longing, with the singer wishing they could turn around and follow their heart back to their loved one.
Overall, the song is a tale of sacrifice, as it explores the struggle between one's career and their love life. It highlights the difficulty of choosing between following your dreams and staying with the person you love, which is something that many people can relate to.
