What I Miss Most Is​.​.​.

lyrics

Five years ago I was acquainted with a girl
and she would possess my heart.
spending summer nights driving around under the stars
we were from just one town apart.
We played road-games and laughed and kissed
made future plans and summer to-do lists.
There is not a thing I wouldn’t give
to be back in those arms of bliss.
Then after a few weeks you moved down a few streets
but carved on your porch to share, “summer 2004 we were there.”
Then spent a few more years together
through sun and stormy weather
and I truly adored it all
stood side by side through some funerals and weddings
you kept me strong through it all.
Yeah, I think that we have just about seen it all.
Come on baby its time to go
I’ve got those two tickets for us and Mexico
and if you don’t come with me im still gonna go alone.
But I’m imploring you to reconsider me
a possibility, not just a memory
of the one who loved you quite limitlessly.
I guess we’ll see.
Now its been some time
and I know we’ve hurt each other
forgiven honestly and tried with others
but always seem to end up back together
I just won’t write for another.
It’s a game of chess with our hearts at stake
till one of us wins and says checkmate
and that will be the day
yes that will be the day
shame on you if you let me get away.
Come on baby its time to go
I’ve got those two tickets for us and Mexico
and if you don’t come with me im still gonna go alone.
But I’m imploring you to reconsider me
a possibility, not just a memory
of the one who loved you quite limitlessly.
This is what I miss.
I miss the days disappearing with you
I miss how cute you look in your brown Puma shoes
and making fun of all the hip-hop music with you.
I miss the deafening, blinding lights when you walk in the room
I miss the unspoken love in the air
and smiling all the way home with no reasons or cares.
I’m missing all the lazy afternoons
but most of all I miss you.
