Missing
The xx / BBC Philharmonic Orchestra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
Will you miss me? (I, I, I, oh)
When there's nothing to see? (I, I, I, oh)
Tell me, how did this come to be? (I, I, I, oh)
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
Do you still believe? (I, I, I, oh)
In you and me? (I, I, I, oh)
Are we all we could be? (I, I, I, oh)
Is it meant to be?
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time and I feel the same
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
My heart is beating in a different way
Been gone such a long time
