Officially Missing You

Tamia

All I hear is raindrops falling on the rooftop
Oh baby tell me why'd you have to go
Cause this pain I feel it won't go away
And today i'm officially missing you
I thought that from this heartache I could escape
But i've heard it long enough to know there ain't no way
And today i'm officially missing you

Oo, can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby said it stays on my mind
And I, i'm officially

All I do is lay around, two years full of tears
From looking at your face all over
Just a week ago you were my baby
Now I don't even know you at all
Don't know you at all
Well I wish that you would call me right now
So that I could get through to you somehow
But I guess it's safe to say baby
Safe to say that i'm officially missing you

Oo, can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby said it stays on my mind
And I, i'm officially

Well I thought I could just get over you
But I see there's something I just can't do
From the way you would hold me to the sweet things you told me
I just can't find a way to let go of you

Oo, can't nobody do it like you
Said every little thing you do
Hey baby said it stays on my mind
And I, i'm officially

It's official
You know that i'm missing you, yeah yes
All I hear is raindrops
And i'm officially missing you

    I think Tamia is very underrated - her music is beautful. This song is about a girl missing her ex, but my boyf is overseas right now and it makes me think of him

    cant believe it only has 2 comments.. such a great song, i dont think translation is required since the title of the song is basically what its all about.. missing that special someone.. one of the sweetest songs to be sung with a guitar =)

Trouble Breathing
Alkaline Trio
While the obvious connections with suicide or alcoholism could be drawn easily, more subtly this song could be about someone who views the world through a negative lens constantly and how as much as the writer tries to show the beauty in the world, this person refuses to see it. It's one or another between the rope and the bottle. There is no good option for this person. They can't see it. Skiba sings it in a kind of exasperated way like He's tired of hearing this negative view constantly and just allowing that person to continue feeling the way they feel knowing he can't do anything about it. You can hear it when he says maybe you're a vampire.

Somewhere Only We Know
Keane
Per the FAQ on Keane's website, Keane's drummer Richard Hughes, stated the following: "We've been asked whether "Somewhere Only We Know" is about a specific place, and Tim has been saying that, for him, or us as individuals, it might be about a geographical space, or a feeling; it can mean something individual to each person, and they can interpret it to a memory of theirs... It's perhaps more of a theme rather than a specific message... Feelings that may be universal, without necessarily being totally specific to us, or a place, or a time..." With the nostalgic sentiment and the overall tone of the song, I think Keane is attempting to express a Portuguese term known as 'saudade', which does not have a direct English translation but roughly means "that which we remember because it is gone."

The Last Dance
Within Temptation
@Kahiara Actually I think the husband passed away, "She sang for you last night She heard you were calling" Many people say they have felt, heard, or seen their loved ones after they have passed. "Don't be scared now Close your eyes She holds guard tonight Go on forward no remorse Life will take it's course" This is said to the late husband by a third part (never named), who encourages him to pass on. Because life will eventually continue. The phrase "holds guard" refers to the ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/… ) which is a Christian ceremony held after someone dies. Now it is usually held right after the funeral, but in most celtiic countries the wake is held before the funeral. "She danced with you last night so you will remember All you have shared, a lifetime." This sentence feels as if the only thing it wants to convey is their history together, namely, husband and wife. For the rest it just refers back to the first verse.
