Do You Miss Me?
Stray Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need someone to talk to
Here am I, it′s you I have to talk with
You can put the phone down
Do it on your own now
You know you can do it if you try
Feeling fine, long time since I saw you
I was on my own so, I just grabbed the phone now
I just had to find some peace of mind
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
What's that you say?
Did you say you love me?
Say it again, your voice is sounding lovely
C′mon let's get together, live a life forever
Meet you in the morning-goodbye
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Feeling fine (feeling fine)
Long time since I saw you (long time since I saw you)
Do you mind, I could not ignore you
I was on my own so, I just grabbed the phone now
I just had to find some peace of mind
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
Do you miss me?
