I Miss You
The Dark Tenor Lyrics

I drift like a bottle at sea
I feel lost and aimless, without direction or purpose, like an insignificant object bobbing along in the vastness of the ocean

Your memory is safe with me
Your memory holds a special place in my heart and I will always treasure it, keeping it close to me and cherishing it forever

I lift up my head to the sky
I look up to the sky, seeking inspiration and guidance, and feeling a sense of wonder and awe at the vastness of the universe

Pure moonlight signals the tide
The bright, luminous light of the moon guides and influences the ebb and flow of the ocean waves, which in turn affects the movement of all life on the earth

Yeah, I kiss you farewell tonight
I am bidding you goodbye and sending you off into the night, with a sense of sadness and longing, and a deep desire to hold onto you for just a little longer

Your memory is safe with me
I will always carry your memory with me, wherever I go, and it will never fade or lose its meaning

And I miss you
I feel a deep sense of loss and sadness, a longing to be close to you and to bask in the warmth of your love

I sail through the wild, open blue
I am journeying through the vast, uncharted waters of life, seeking adventure and discovery, and taking risks to explore new horizons

The captain, you always knew
You were the one who always understood me and knew how to guide me, even when the path was uncertain or dangerous

I drive what we always do
I keep moving forward, following the same path and routines that we established together, even though you are no longer by my side

A coastline made of the truth
My journey is guided by a sense of honesty and integrity, and I am always seeking to discover the truth about myself and the world around me

Yeah, I miss you, strong, bold and free
I miss the way you embodied strength, courage, and independence, and the confidence you instilled in me to be my own person

Your secrets I'll never blieve
I will always hold your secrets sacred and keep them safe, never betraying your trust or revealing your private thoughts to anyone else

And, and, and
These repeated words suggest a sense of longing and yearning, and a desire to return to a happier time when the person was with the singer

And, and, and
This second repetition of the phrase emphasizes the depth of the longing and the intensity of the feelings that the singer is experiencing

And I miss you
This final repetition underscores the central message of the song, which is the artist's profound sense of loss and longing for the person who has gone away
