I Miss Missing You

Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write a song about someone that missed the yearning feeling that he got when away from his love

Song Description

This is a song that makes me smile every time I hear it as it is about a man who loves returning home to a love that he has been missing. However, as soon as he is home it is not long before he is missing that yearning feeling he has when he is away so he has to leave to then miss his love so much that he has to hurry home again and so that cycle of of wanting, having again and wanting to want again. Daft but it made sense to me at the time and I love the melody that we composed

Lyrics

When I'm away girl the only thing I wanna do
Is turn around girl make my way straight back to you
When I come home then I know that love is true
But it's not long before I start to miss missing you
What can I do hoo

When I go babe I just wanna turn around
'Cause you know babe you're the sweetest thing I've found
But when I come home back to where love is true
Well it don't take long before I start to miss missing you
What can I do hoo

You're all that I believe in
It's hard to understand I guess
But I just keep on leavin'
'Cause I need that longin' feelin'
And comin' home to you's what I love best

When I'm away girl the only thing I wanna do
Is turn around girl make my way straight back to you
When I come home then I know that love is true
But it's not long before I start to miss missing you
What can I do hoo

Instrumental

You're all that I believe in
It's hard to understand I guess
But I just keep on leavin'
'Cause I need that longin' feelin'
And comin' home to you's what I love best

When I'm away girl the only thing I wanna do
Only thing I wanna, only thing I wanna
Is turn around girl make my way straight back to you
Make my way straight back to you
When I go babe I just wanna turn around
I just wanna turn around
'Cause you know babe you're the sweetest thing I've found
Sweetest thing I've ever found

But I just keep on leavin'
'Cause I need that longin' feelin'
And comin' home to you's what I love best
