Missing You by Homemade Shine
Missing You
Verse 1
Sunrise here, sunset where you are,
Same damn sky but worlds apart.
(I count the miles like rosary beads,)
Praying distance won’t change what we need.
Your voice sounds thin through a cracked phone line,
Love in echoes, delayed in time.
My bed stays cold, your side untouched,
I miss you more than words can trust. (so much)
Pre-Chorus
Funny how space can shrink a room,
But stretch a heart till it feels untrue.
Chorus
I’m missing you in quiet ways,
In crowded rooms, in empty days.
(You’re tomorrow,) I’m yesterday,
Same love drifting,( different place.)
The moon knows secrets the sun can’t see,
It shines on you,( then comes to me.)
(Yeah,) I’m holding on,( but it’s hard to do—)…
Loving close when I’m missing you. (missing you)
Verse 2
Your coffee’s hot when mine goes cold,
You’re waking up, I’m growing old.
(I trace your name in window steam,)
Like that might pull you back to me.
Postcards written in my head,
(All the things I should’ve said.)
Every laugh I can’t hear live,
Feels like losing and surviving. (hang on)
Pre-Chorus
Maps don’t show what this costs inside,
They don’t measure the tears we hide.( we hide)
Chorus
I’m missing you in quiet ways,
In crowded rooms, in empty days.
(You’re tomorrow, I’m yesterday,)
Same love drifting,( different place.)
The moon knows secrets the sun can’t see,
It shines on you, then comes to me.
Yeah, I’m holding on, (but it’s hard to do—)
Loving close when I’m missing you. (missing you)
Bridge
If love’s a bridge, (we’re halfway strong,)
Bent but standing,( holding on.)
One more night, (one more goodbye,)
One more “soon” we testify. (we believe)
Chorus (Final)
I’m missing you, but I still believe,
(Distance ain’t stronger than what we mean.)
Every mile’s a borrowed test,
(Every ache just proves the rest.)…
One day clocks will line up right,
(Same sunrise, same goodnight.)…
Till then I’ll stay faithful and true—
(Learning how to love) while missing you. (still you)
Outro
Same stars blinking, different view,
If love can travel, I’ll get to you.
Till the day I don’t have to choose—
I’ll keep breathing through missing you. (missing you)
