Miss You Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm gonna miss you
And your Mickey Mouse tattoo
And you'll be leaving in your Honda Accord
Well, is it true?
All them bad things you do?
Well, are they sure?
Are they sure that it was even you?

Hmmm?
You can tell me
You know you can still tell me everything

Tell me, I bet you didn't do nothing wrong
Tell me, what's been going on?
Maybe the stars aligned
Or maybe I've just changed my mind

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
Yes

[Verse 2]
Well, I do not love you
Because I'm bored
No, I was just saying them things
When I was feeling a little unsure about myself
And I'm sorry, baby, it wasn't right

Now you got me thinkin'
Yeah, I'm thinking again
I'm thinking for the last time
Yeah, the last time
Now that I know you're really gonna leave me
Maybe the stars aligned
Or maybe I've just changed my mind

[Chorus]
Maybe I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna miss you
Just wait and see
I cannot chase you
I can't make you stay

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Come on
You really didn't do nothing wrong
Baby, come on
Come on, come on
Maybe the stars aligned
Or maybe I've just changed my mind
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
I'm yours
Yes, sir

About

According to an interview with Q Magazine, this song is about a couple who are addicted to crystal meth.

“It’s like a love story set in this really f–ked relationship that deals with addiction. It’s just a weird time and place to love someone when you’re in that world (of being a drug addict). It’s not a healthy thing, by any means.”

The song was described by Uncut as a a “Try A Little Tenderness”-like slow burn.

What did Alabama Shakes say about "Miss You"?

“It’s about this couple I used to know. Basically, they were both addicted to drugs really bad, but they were both really in love with each other. It was so toxic and weird, and I wanted to write a love song that wasn’t like a normal love song, that wasn’t, ‘I love you so much, we’re together forever.’ It’s about two people ruining each other for everyone except for themselves.”
