missing :: everything but the girl (remix)
from 'adapt or die: ten years of remixes'
i step off the train
i'm walking down your street again
and past your door, but you don't live there anymore
it's years since you've been there
now you've disappeared somewhere, like outer space
you've found some better place
and i miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
and i miss you, like the deserts miss the rain
could you be dead?
you always were two steps ahead, of everyone
we'd walk behind while you would run
i look up at your house
and i can almost hear you shout down to me
where i always used to be
back on the train, i ask why did i come again?
can i confess, i've been hanging round your old address?
and the years have proved
to offer, nothing since you've moved
you're long gone, but i can't move on

the more i think about it, i really don't like this song. i don't know why i told you i did. i remember 'learning' to like it for the said ex-gf, but if i'm true to myself, i really hate it. always have. my litmus test is that when it comes on the radio or i hear it, i turn the station or turn it off.
i see how other people do like it and see it as a good tune. it just never moved me. the lyrics are nice though, i will say that.

well, in the context of you and the x the lyrics aren't even remotely applicable: you haven't (to my knowledge) been hanging around her old address and you moved on quickly.

um, if that was the case, you'd be the first to know. i don't even know where she lives. quickly? well, it didn't feel quick at the time, but in retrospect, i suppose.
anyhow, i didn't mean it in that context - ick - just saying that from an objective viewpoint, the lyrics are good, and i can appreciate why others might like the tune, despite my dislike for it. :)
