Missing you
Set It Off Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's been a long time,
And I find myself wishing maybe I could connect,
It's been a long night,
And this service sucks and my message can't be sent.
All I know I need is you,
Even if it's just for today.
Some way you will see,
A letter leads me back to you.

Dear lovely,
I know it's hard to be this strong,
I may be gone but not for long I swear.
It's not like me, To argue over nothing,
So I apologize ahead of time,
For what I'll put you through.

But I'm afraid of losing the better part of home, so can we

Work it out cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away,
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on. With everyday.

Dear sweetheart,
I got your letter and it shows,
The both of us could use some room to grow.
And it scares me, How easy it's become to fight,
It's not the way I want to end this night.
Please call me.

Cause I'm afraid of facing living life without you,
So can we

Work it out cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away,
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on.
Give me life cause you take my breath in every single way.
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on,
With everyday.

I dropped my heart, And she broke it's fall,
This ale's become ailment, I hope I didn't drop the ball.

(I dropped my heart, And she broke it's fall,
This ale's become ailment, I hope I didn't drop the ball.)
Call me please my dear,
We need to solve this here and now, I clutch my phone,
My heart pounding at the sound.

(I dropped my heart, And she broke it's fall,
This ale's become ailment, I hope I didn't drop the ball.)
Call me please my dear,
We need to solve this here and now, I clutch my phone,
My heart pounding at the sound.

This is not what I intended at all, How can we let this all slip away?
You have to understand it's hard, I need you're touch but you're just too far,
I thought you said you were patient I swear that I am, Why do we have these fights?
Because I'm scared of the end. It doesn't have to cause we need each other.

Work it out cause it's not quite fair to throw it all away,
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on. (Whoa-oh oh)
Give me life cause you take my breath in every single way.
We carry on, we carry on, we carry on,
With everyday.





It's been a long time,
But we'll carry on just like we did before
