Missing you
Waite John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I always catch my breath
And I'm still standing here
And you're miles away
And I'm wondering why you left
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
I spend my time
Thinking about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And that's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter
What my friends say
There's a message in the wild
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
In your world I have no meaning
Though I'm trying hard to understand
And it's my heart that's breaking
Down this long distance line tonight
But I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say
And there's a message that I'm sending out
Like a telegraph to your soul
And if I can't bridge this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
'Cause I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what I might say
I ain't missing you (I ain't missing you)
No way
Since you've been gone away (I can lie to myself these days)
I ain't missing you
And there's a storm that's raging
Through my frozen heart tonight
And I ain't missing you at all
Since you've been gone away
I ain't missing you
No matter what my friends say
I ain't missing you
I ain't missing you (I can lie to myself these days)
I ain't missing you at all, I ain't missing you (No way, baby)
No matter what my friends say (I'm doing fine here)
And I ain't missing you at all
I ain't missing you
I keep lying to myself every time I think of you
I'm okay
I'm doing fine here from day to day
I ain't missing you
I can lie to myself
Waite John's "Missing You" talks about the pain of missing someone and trying to move on, but still being haunted by memories of that person. The opening lines of the song, "Every time I think of you, I always catch my breath," emphasizes the emotional impact that their separation has had on him. Despite their distance, the chorus admits that he misses this person and has a strong desire to reconnect with them. The lyrics, "There's a message in the wire, and I'm sending you this signal tonight" conveys that he's trying to connect with them and let them know how he feels.
The second verse of the song shows that he is trying to cope with the grief of being apart from this person, but is struggling to do so. He spends his time thinking about them and it's almost driving him "wild". The bridge of the song, "In your world, I have no meaning, though I'm trying hard to understand," shows that he's struggling to make sense of why they're apart and how he can change that. Throughout the song, he acknowledges that he can try to convince himself that he's not missing this person, but deep down, he knows that he is.

Every time I think of you
Whenever you cross my mind
I always catch my breath
It takes my breath away
And I'm still standing here
I'm still in the same place
And you're miles away
And you're far away from me
And I'm wondering why you left
And I can't help but wonder why you left me
And there's a storm that's raging
And there's a turmoil brewing
Through my frozen heart tonight
Within my broken heart tonight
I hear your name in certain circles
I hear your name being mentioned by some people
And it always makes me smile
And it still manages to bring a smile to my face
I spend my time
I use my time
Thinking about you
To think about you
And it's almost driving me wild
And it almost makes me insane
And that's my heart that's breaking
And that's the reason for my broken heart
Down this long distance line tonight
Across this far distance tonight
I ain't missing you at all
I don't miss you at all
Since you've been gone away
Ever since you left
No matter
Regardless
What my friends say
What my friends say doesn't bother me
There's a message in the wild
I have a message from the wilderness
And I'm sending you this signal tonight
And I'm sending you a sign tonight
You don't know how desperate I've become
You don't know how hopeless I have become
And it looks like I'm losing this fight
And it seems like I'm losing this battle
In your world I have no meaning
I have no significance in your world
Though I'm trying hard to understand
Even though I try to comprehend
But I ain't missing you at all
But I'm not missing you one bit
And there's a message that I'm sending out
I'm sending out a message
Like a telegraph to your soul
Like a telegraph to your soul, similar to a message in a bottle
And if I can't bridge this distance
If I can't close this distance
Stop this heartbreak overload
I'll stop the emotional turmoil
No way
Absolutely not
I can lie to myself these days
I'm deceiving myself these days
I'm okay
I'm alright
I'm doing fine here from day to day
I'm doing well day by day
I ain't missing you
I don't miss you
And I ain't missing you at all
And I really not missing you one bit
I keep lying to myself every time I think of you
I'm deceiving myself every time I think of you

There are several future classics in todays world.

Those are just the first that came to my mind.
There are more if people just have to listen for them and there are so many different genres to open our minds along with our already established heart & soul.

Who else wishes we could go back to the days of no cell phones?
@sherbaum1985
I agree, but it’s a bit ironic because I’m writing this on my cell phone
@geraldhartley
@@sherbaum1985 Haha. You are forgiven. :)
@gavinhenderson7250
Given the present climate, not right now I don't.
@yallseenmylines1472
