Miss You Miss You
Sam Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But pretty soon you'll be changing the station
And all your old shoes are looking brand new
They wanna be worn but they never get the chance to
Heavy into everything
Ready for the next thing
That catch your eye for a while then you're over it
You change your mind on it
Like you always do, but you don't know it yet but
Woah woah
I ain't gonna be that easy to leave
Woah woah
Girl I'm gonna make you miss me
Make you wish that you were sleeping in my shirt
Lie about my jacket and tell everyone it's yours
When your phone rings after midnight and you're thinking maybe it's me
Gonna make you miss me
You're cold and hot
She burn out like a match
Keep a slim knot in the strings you attach
You think it's easy, but that's a lie
The only reason that you're good at goodbye is
Every boy you ever met, was too easy to forget
Well, I ain't going out like that
Woah woah
I ain't gonna be that easy to leave
Woah woah
Girl I'm gonna make you miss me
Make you wish that you were sleeping in my shirt
Lie about my jacket and tell everyone it's yours
When your phone rings after midnight and you're thinking maybe it's me
I'm gonna make you miss me, yeah
Woah woah
I ain't gonna be that easy to leave
Woah woah
Girl I'm gonna make you miss me
Writing letters that you're never gonna mail
Stay up and paint my favorite shade of red on your nails
'Cause you can't fall asleep and you're wishing you were with me
I'm gonna make you miss me
Make you miss me
Make you miss the way my hand fit in your hand
When you're dialing my number listening to my favorite bands
I'll say, hey baby you know, you'd say
Is come and get me
I'm gonna make you miss me (miss me)
I'm gonna make you miss me
Woah oh oh
I'm gonna make you miss me
The lyrics of SAM's song "Miss You Miss You" explore the idea of the fleeting nature of human desire, and how easily we can get bored and move on to the next thing. The first stanza talks about how we easily tire of our favorite things - be it a new song that we listen to on repeat or an old pair of shoes that we keep aside for special occasions - and how we always crave something new and exciting. The second stanza goes on to talk about the singer's love interest, who seems to have a similar attitude towards relationships - always on the lookout for something new and never sticking around for too long. However, the singer is determined to make her miss him once he's gone, to the point where she'll start wearing his clothes and trying to get in touch with him after midnight.
The chorus is essentially the crux of the song, where the singer states his intention of not being "that easy to leave" and wanting to create a lasting impression on his love interest. He wants to make her miss him so much that she wishes she was sleeping in his shirt and lies about his jacket being hers. The bridge is where the singer goes on to describe different scenarios where he would make her miss him, from writing letters that she never mails to staying up late and painting her nails a particular shade of red that reminds her of him. The repetitive "woah oh oh" at the end of every stanza adds to the intense emotion and conviction with which the singer makes these statements, almost as if he's trying to convince himself that he'll be able to make her miss him.
Line by Line Meaning
You hear a new song, and it's your favorite
You get excited about something new, but it won't last long
But pretty soon you'll be changing the station
You quickly lose interest and move on to the next thing
And all your old shoes are looking brand new
You neglect the things you already have, always looking for something newer and better
They wanna be worn but they never get the chance to
You don't appreciate the things that you have and always want more
Heavy into everything
You jump into everything with enthusiasm
Ready for the next thing
You're always looking for something new to grab your attention
That catch your eye for a while then you're over it
You get easily infatuated, but your interest quickly fades
You change your mind on it
You're indecisive and often change your mind
Soon as the shine's gone
As soon as something loses its novelty, you lose interest
Like you always do, but you don't know it yet but
You have a pattern of behavior, and you don't even realize it
I ain't gonna be that easy to leave
You won't be able to easily forget me
Girl I'm gonna make you miss me
I will make you regret leaving me
Make you wish that you were sleeping in my shirt
You'll long to be close to me again
Lie about my jacket and tell everyone it's yours
You'll want to be associated with me even after we're no longer together
When your phone rings after midnight and you're thinking maybe it's me
You'll constantly be thinking about me
You're cold and hot
You have mixed emotions and act inconsistently
She burn out like a match
Your passions are fleeting
Keep a slim knot in the strings you attach
You keep your connections tenuous
You think it's easy, but that's a lie
You think it's easy to leave someone, but it's not
The only reason that you're good at goodbye is
You've been through it so much that you're used to it
Every boy you ever met, was too easy to forget
You've never really cared about anyone you've dated
Well, I ain't going out like that
I won't be so easy to forget
Writing letters that you're never gonna mail
You'll have thoughts of me that you won't act on
Stay up and paint my favorite shade of red on your nails
You'll try to feel close to me by remembering my favorite things
'Cause you can't fall asleep and you're wishing you were with me
You'll have trouble sleeping because you'll be thinking about me
Make you miss the way my hand fit in your hand
You'll long for our physical connection
When you're dialing my number listening to my favorite bands
You'll want to hear the things that remind you of me
I'm gonna make you miss me (miss me)
I will make sure you regret leaving me
