Missing You Lyrics

Hard days I'm traveling alone for too long
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm always somewhere that I never belong
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you

I'm moving so fast now it doesn't seem true
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm getting closer but I don't know what to
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you

Oh, if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life

This life I'm living's getting so hard to feel
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you
The days are empty and the nights are unreal
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you

Oh, if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life

Hard days I'm traveling alone for too long
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm always somewhere that I never belong
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you

Oh, if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life

Hard days I'm traveling alone for too long
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm always somewhere that I never belong
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you

I'm moving so fast now it doesn't seem true
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm getting closer but I don't know what to
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you

Oh, if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life

This life I'm living's getting so hard to feel
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you
The days are empty and the nights are unreal
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you

Oh, if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life

Hard days I'm traveling alone for too long
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you
I'm always somewhere that I never belong
Ooh Ooh, I'm missing you

Oh, if I had you beside me
Then I just might sleep through the night
Your love is the promise that guides me
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life
All of the days of my life

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Nobody else commented yet? Dan might be better known for his sweet ballads and this is one of his more hard-edged songs. But the passion and the story are still there. It surely is based on his real life as a touring musician, staying in hotel rooms all around the country (and the world) and missing the love of his life. (Maybe written for his wife? I'd like to think so.) Although the tone of the song is melancholy and plainative, it is actually positive underneath, since he tells her that her love is what guides and keeps him going. I like to think that at the end of the tour he goes home and there she is, waiting.
