Someone to Miss
by @jeffjweir
Liner Notes
I had a partial instrument track and a melody/hook idea hangin around. It felt so good to work hard and finish a draft, so it can now be listened to and analyzed as song, not just an idea. Thanks again, FAWM.
Lyrics
Word of your promotion It came last minute They paid to move you fifteen hundred miles We talk but I still don’t know where I fit in it I know you have so much on your mind We just got started You’re what I’ve always wanted Will I be a part of this I don’t want to say goodbye
Oh my Oh my soul Never thought I’d ever be in love like this Everyday I’m going goddam crazy I never thought I’d ever feel alone like this I don’t want to feel alone like this But it feels so good to have someone to miss
The visit was a whirlwind But it sure felt good Your physical presence made me high You feel more settled Like you hoped you would But it’s still hard for you to say what’s on your mind I will wait for you I will stay with you I’ll be strong for you Please don’t say goodbye
Oh my Oh my soul Never thought I’d ever be in love like this It’s not a maybe I am goddam crazy I never thought I’d ever feel alone like this I don’t want to feel alone like this But it feels so good to have someone to miss
I know my heart might get broken I’ve already counted the cost This feeling will last through the end of my days Whether I’m with you or not
Oh my Oh my soul Never thought I’d ever be in love like this It’s not a maybe I am goddam crazy I never thought I’d ever feel alone like this I don’t want to feel alone like this But it feels so good to have someone to miss It feels so good to have someone
OK Jeff, this is my second favorite FAWM song of yours this year. I really love the hook of "I don’t want to feel alone like this But it feels so good to have someone to miss" That is lyrically awesome and all-too-relatable for me at various times in my life...and a great melody. The story here is universal, yet I can't think of a song that has said this before. The internal conflict is so good. Keep this one!!
