I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Hmm, yeah
(I miss you baby)
I been missin' you
(It's so hard bein' away from you)
Girl, I been missin' you, baby
(Mmm, I want you next to me so bad)
I been thinking about you girl
(I miss you so much girl)
I never felt loneliness like this before
I'm so paranoid
Thinkin' you gonna walk through the door
Girl my heart has so much pain to endure
It's been hurting for so long 'til it feels sore
Girl I don't want to hurt no more
You're everything worth living for
So baby come back to me
You belong with me naturally
Take me outta my misery
Girl I'm going crazy
[Chorus]
Girl I been missing you, like crazy
Every minute seems like hours
Every day seems like weeks
Girl I been missing you, like crazy
Every minute seems like hours
Every day seems like weeks
Girl I been missing you, like crazy
Every minute seems like hours
Every day seems like weeks
Ooh girl, I'm missing you
(Ooh girl, I'm missing you)
You know I'm wanting to
Spend every moment with you
Girl it's been so long since I seen your face
And I'm feeling so out of place
The touch of your fingertips on my back
As we make contact, didn't I react
To the chills you send through my vains
Girl just the thought of you drive me insane
Girl I can't wait to feel that feeling again
It's your sweet love, I'm missing
[Chorus]
Girl, I'm missing you like crazy
I don't know what it is about you
Each moment without you
Seems like forever babe
I just need to be next to you
And until I'm next to you
I'll be missin' you babe
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I been missing you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Oh, the days have been so long
I been missing you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
I been thinkin' about cheatin' Mrs. Jones
I been missing you
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
Said I'm lost without you baby
Oh baby, baby
I been missing you
I been missing you baby
[Chorus]
(I miss you baby)
I been missin' you
(It's so hard bein' away from you)
Girl, I been missin' you, baby
(Mmm, I want you next to me so bad)
I been thinking about you girl
(I miss you so much girl)
I never felt loneliness like this before
I'm so paranoid
Thinkin' you gonna walk through the door
Girl my heart has so much pain to endure
It's been hurting for so long 'til it feels sore
Girl I don't want to hurt no more
You're everything worth living for
So baby come back to me
You belong with me naturally
Take me outta my misery
Girl I'm going crazy
[Chorus]
Girl I been missing you, like crazy
Every minute seems like hours
Every day seems like weeks
Girl I been missing you, like crazy
Every minute seems like hours
Every day seems like weeks
Girl I been missing you, like crazy
Every minute seems like hours
Every day seems like weeks
Ooh girl, I'm missing you
(Ooh girl, I'm missing you)
You know I'm wanting to
Spend every moment with you
Girl it's been so long since I seen your face
And I'm feeling so out of place
The touch of your fingertips on my back
As we make contact, didn't I react
To the chills you send through my vains
Girl just the thought of you drive me insane
Girl I can't wait to feel that feeling again
It's your sweet love, I'm missing
[Chorus]
Girl, I'm missing you like crazy
I don't know what it is about you
Each moment without you
Seems like forever babe
I just need to be next to you
And until I'm next to you
I'll be missin' you babe
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)

Oh baby, baby

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."
