I Already Miss You
The Kooks Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you're feeling better
What I said last I didn't mean
And now that women listen louder
This is what I meant to say

Babe I already miss you
Sweetheart I already miss you
Sweet eyes I already miss you
And you only just walked out the door

You know I hate talking on telephones
I'm so sorry its just my way
And now that I'm a little better
There's so much to you I'd like to say

Babe I already miss you
Sweetheart I already miss you




Sweet eyes I already miss you
And you only just walked out the door

Overall Meaning

In the song I Already Miss You by The Kooks, the singer addresses a past lover whom they miss tremendously. The first lines suggest that there was a previous conversation that may have ended badly, but the singer now wants to apologize and communicate their true feelings. The phrase "women listen louder" may indicate a shift in the relationship dynamic where the woman is now more vocal and assertive. The repetition of "I already miss you" emphasizes the depth of the singer's feelings, while the use of endearing terms like "babe", "sweetheart", and "sweet eyes" shows the intimacy they once shared.


The continuation of the second stanza further indicates the singer's reluctance to communicate over the phone, yet they now feel confident to express their feelings to their former lover. This could imply that the relationship dynamic may have previously been imbalanced or dynamic between the two, with one party holding back. With the bridge, the singer indicates that they want to make up for all the things they couldn't say earlier, and that they want to do better now they feel better. The repetition both in the chorus and the verses creates emphasis, which reveals the singer's yearning to be with their lover once again and to be open with them.


Line by Line Meaning

I know you're feeling better
I understand that you're doing well


What I said last I didn't mean
My previous words were not genuine


And now that women listen louder
Now that women are heard more prominently


This is what I meant to say
This is what I truly intended to communicate


Babe I already miss you
Darling, I'm already missing you


Sweetheart I already miss you
My dear, I already miss you


Sweet eyes I already miss you
I'm already missing your lovely eyes


And you only just walked out the door
And you've only just left recently


You know I hate talking on telephones
I dislike conversing over the phone as you know


I'm so sorry its just my way
I apologize, it is simply my temperament


And now that I'm a little better
Now that I'm more composed


There's so much to you I'd like to say
I have so much to express to you
