miss me
Zeph Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Cancel plans while you make your own
Sit and wait for you to call me
While you forget you have a phone
Wish I wasn't so forgettable
Do you ever think about me first
I know that you're busy
Could you miss me for a moment
Just take a sec and stop
To smell the roses
It's the time, not the flowers, that I want
I make time for you I don't have to
Every day while you're running late
"There's so much to do and so little time"
But I'm the thing you procrastinate
I spend all my time on wishing
That you would spend some of yours on me
I know that's selfish
But my loneliness would disagree
Could you miss me for a moment
Just take a sec and stop
To smell the roses
It's the time, not the flowers, that I want
Is there time inside your day
To maybe dream about me back
I know I won't get an answer
But is that so much to ask?
(Finally)
The lyrics of Zeph's song "Miss Me" express the feelings of someone who is constantly giving their time and attention to another person who doesn't reciprocate those efforts. The singer is frustrated with always having to cancel their own plans and wait for the other person to contact them, despite the fact that the other person is constantly busy with their own life. The singer feels forgotten and unnoticed, longing for the other person to miss them and think about them for a change.
The repeated phrase "Could you miss me for a moment" serves as a plea for the other person to take a step back and appreciate the time they have with the singer. The singer isn't looking for grand gestures or expensive gifts, just a simple moment of genuine connection. The line "It's the time, not the flowers, that I want" emphasizes this desire for quality time together, rather than just meaningless gifts or empty promises.
The chorus also highlights the singer's feelings of loneliness and selfishness. They recognize that they want the other person's attention and time for themselves, but feel guilty for expecting so much from someone who is already busy. The ending lines of the song take a bittersweet turn, as the singer acknowledges that they may never get the validation they're looking for, but hope that the other person at least thinks about them occasionally.
Overall, the lyrics of "Miss Me" capture the pain and frustration of unrequited love and unbalanced relationships. It's a relatable message that many people can connect with, and Zeph's emotive delivery only adds to the song's impact.
Line by Line Meaning
I make time for you I don't have to
I prioritize you over other things
Cancel plans while you make your own
Sometimes I give up my own time to match yours
Sit and wait for you to call me
I wait for you to reach out to me
While you forget you have a phone
You don't always respond to me when I reach out to you
Wish I wasn't so forgettable
I feel like I'm not important enough for you to remember
Do you ever think about me first
I wonder if I'm on your mind as much as you're on mine
I know that you're busy
I understand that you have a lot going on
But that leaves me busy being hurt
But it hurts me when you don't have time for me
Could you miss me for a moment
Can you take a minute to think about me
Just take a sec and stop
Take a quick break from your busy schedule
To smell the roses
To appreciate the little things in life
It's the time, not the flowers, that I want
I want your time and attention more than physical gifts
Every day while you're running late
I feel like you're always in a rush
"There's so much to do and so little time"
You often use this excuse for not having time for me
But I'm the thing you procrastinate
But I'm the one thing you never make time for
I spend all my time on wishing
I often fantasize about you making time for me
That you would spend some of yours on me
I want you to prioritize me like I do for you
I know that's selfish
I feel guilty for wanting your time so badly
But my loneliness would disagree
But my feelings of loneliness override that guilt
Is there time inside your day
Is there ever a moment where you can think of me
To maybe dream about me back
To maybe imagine a future with me in it
I know I won't get an answer
I know you won't respond to this
But is that so much to ask?
But is it too much to hope for?

@Anonymous69.
Ik this song was made for the female audience and stuff but this song perfectly explains the situation I'm in rn. And it hurts so much, to always be her last priority even tho I put in so much effort. I just wish sometimes she would actually put in some effort too instead of just giving me empty promises
@noah-jones
