Foster the People - Miss You
Forget your problems
Lay it down, and start up
The innocence of what you are is what I want
I've ran my colors, dripped down and drained out
Tried a million things but my heart's been shot
I hope you try to find me
I'm all spun and pacing
I know what you wanna stay here, so say it
Forget the words speaking, just wanna re-arrange
So I'll just say it:
I really miss you, miss you I said
Smile at the chance just to see you again
I really miss you, miss you I said
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
Beats stroke, just like-
The wrong things that I think are right
I never knew that I could go as far as this
I took a problem, easily forgotten
I know who I had been before I slipped
Oh, I wanna change it
I will live a life that,
Makes you smile when I'm done and long gone
Fever is a-peaking, just wanna see your face
So what you say, what you say?
I really miss you, miss you I said
Smile at the chance just to see you again
I really miss you, miss you I said
Just look at me now before I walk away,
You just might miss me, miss me one-day
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!
This song is an ode to a girl that frontman Mark Foster previously lost the company and love of. It takes the form of conversation, Foster’s pleading for the girl to take him back, his persistence, his arguments, and his love for her.
