“Miss You” is the ninth track on AJ Mitchell’s debut album SKYVIEW.
This ballad is dedicated to his parents, who are getting older. He tells them he doesn’t want them to leave him even it will eventually happen someday.
[Verse 1]
I remember on my birthday, you'd always sing it wrong
Buy a cake you said was homemade, open presents on the lawn
I remember I was thirteen and I stole my sister's car
Yeah, I thought my life was over, but you let me get this far
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate to think about it but my parents, they ain't gettin' any younger
I can't ignore the truth
That every day that passes by, it's hard to have to realize they're numbered
As much as I don't want to
[Chorus]
I know one day I'll have to face you won't be there
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss you
Every time I close my eyes, it's just not fair
'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss you yet
You yet
You yet
'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss you yet
You yet
You yet
'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss you
[Verse 2]
The way you'd leave the light on, stay awake 'til I get home
Yeah, I'm always causin' trouble, but you'd always let me know
It's just hard to imagine a world without you there
Who'll gon' leave the light on? Who'll be waitin' by the stairs?
[Pre-Chorus]
I hate to think about it but my parents, they ain't gettin' any younger
As much as I don't want to
[Chorus]
I know one day I'll have to face you won't be there
But I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss you
Every time I close my eyes, it's just not fair
'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss you yet
You yet
You yet
'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss you yet (You yet)
You yet (You yet)
You yet (You yet)
'Cause I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna miss you yet
