Missing

Missing
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street
Again and past your door
But you don't live there any more
It's years since you've been there
But now you've disappeared
Somewhere like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain
Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead of everyone
We'd walk behind while you would run
I look up at your house
And I can almost hear you shout down to me
Where I always used to be
And I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
Back on the train, I ask why did I come again?
Can I confess I've been hanging around your old address?
The years have proved to offer nothing since you moved
You're long gone but I can't move on
And I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
I step off the train
I'm walking down your street
Again and past your door
But you don't live there any more
It's years since you've been there
But now you've disappeared
Somewhere like outer space
You've found some better place

And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you
And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain
And I miss you like the deserts miss the rain
The deserts miss the rain
Like the deserts miss the rain
The deserts miss the rain
Like the deserts miss the rain

La canción 'Missing' de Everything But The Girl habla sobre la sensación de añoranza y vacío que se siente cuando alguien importante en tu vida ya no está. La letra describe cómo se siente al regresar a un lugar donde solías encontrarte con esa persona, pero ahora han desaparecido, como si se hubieran ido a un lugar mejor o incluso como si ya no estuvieran en este mundo...
