Missing You
Roseaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking about all the happy times
Looking at pictures on what we used to be.
(What we used to be)
How I wish I could turn back time
To the days when you were mine.
Can′t hold back these feelings
Well, I'll do almost anything
(Anything to see your face
And nobody else can take your place
′Cause I am missing you.
I got to move on.)
Tremble when I hear your name
(Hear your name)
There ain't nothing to ease the pain.
The thought of being without you
I just can't hang,
No, I can′t hang.
Never thought I would feel like this
(Feel like this)
How I long for another kiss.
(One more kiss)
And anything just to feel your warm embrace.
I-i-i-i,
I′d do anything,
I'd do anything just to see your face
And nobody else take your place.
I′m missing you right now.
I can't believe,
I can′t believe that you're gone from my mind.
I got to move on
′Cause I am missing you,
Missing you.
I can't believe that you're gone
I can′t believe that you′re gone.
I can't believe.
Do anything to see your face:
Give up my money,
Give up my house,
Give up my cars,
Give up my clothes.
Baby, I want to be with you right now.
I′m missing you right now.
I'm missing you, I′m missing you.
From the Eiffel Tower
To the Pyramids.
All the way to Venice, baby,
I'm missing you.
From Australia
To Austria
To Zimbabwe
To Puerto Rico.
Baby,
I′m missing you,
I'm missing you,
Missing you.
Everything I see reminds me of you.
The flowers,
The trees,
The birds,
The bees,
The sunlight -
Everything reminds me of you
And other little things that you do.
Come on back to my life
I want you, (I love you)
'Cause I am missing you right no-o-o-o-o-w.
Missing you.
End

Yesterday I had you on my mind
I was thinking about you all day yesterday
Thinking about all the happy times
Remembering all the good times with you
Looking at pictures on what we used to be
Seeing old pictures of us and what we used to have
How I wish I could turn back time
I wish I could go back in time to when we were together
To the days when you were mine
To the time when we were together and you were mine
Can’t hold back these feelings, Inside of me
I can't stop feeling this way, these feelings are inside of me
Well I’ll do almost anything
I'm willing to do almost anything
Anything to see your face, And nobody else can take your place
I want to see your face and no one else can replace you

I miss you but I have to move on
Tremble when I hear your name
I get nervous when I hear your name
There ain’t nothing to ease the pain
There's nothing that can reduce the pain I feel
