    Hey guys,

    Girlfriend has been gone for a while (going to be living in separate countries on year out from university), want to maybe send her a song that is about how I miss her? Know it's a bit cheesy, but help me out?! Anything good out there?

    How about "I Miss You" by Blink 182. It's a little obvious, but that way she doesn't have to think about interpreting the song you chose, or misreading signals :) Good song, regardless.

    Crap, I can't edit. Oh well, "Raining in Baltimore" by Counting Crows is a great one. Pretty somber, but I guess that's the point.

    Agree with "Wish you Were Here" by Incubus.

    I'm sure there are more, but right now I can't think straight.

    There was that song "Runaway Train" from the early 90s... who sang that thing? It was about missing people.

    Speaking of Floyed, there's always "Wish You Were Here."

    I think he means missing his girlfriend, rather than a missing person. I think it was Soul Asylum who did the song, by the way.

    I knew what he meant. But the thread title made me think of it. ;) It WAS Soul Asylum.

    <b>Missing You</b>
    <i>
    Missing You
    Every time I think of you
    I always catch my breath
    And I'm still standing here
    And you're miles away
    And I'm wondering why you left
    And there's a storm that's raging
    Through my frozen heart tonight
    I hear your name in certain circles
    And it always makes me smile
    I spend my time
    Thinking about you
    And it's almost driving me wild
    And there's a heart that's breaking
    Down this long distance line tonight
    I ain't missing you at all
    Since you've been gone
    Away
    I ain't missing you
    No matter
    What I might say
    There's a message
    In the wild
    And I'm sending you
    this signal tonight
    You don't know
    How desperate I've become
    And it looks like I'm losing this fight
    In your world
    I have no meaning
    Though I'm trying hard
    to understand
    And it's my heart that's breaking
    Down this long distance line tonight
    I ain't missing you at all
    Since you've been gone
    Away
    I ain't missing you
    No matter
    What my friends say
    And there's a message that I'm sending out
    Like a telegraph to your soul
    And if I can't bridge this distance
    Stop this heartbreak overload
    I ain't missing you at all
    Since you've been gone
    Away
    I ain't missing you
    No matter
    What my friends say
    I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you
    I keep lying to myself
    And there's a storm that's raging
    Through my frozen heart tonight
    I ain't missing you at all
    Since you've been gone
    Away
    I ain't missing you
    No matter
    What my friends say
    Ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you
    I keep lying to myself
    Ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you
    I ain't missing you
    Ain't missing you
    Oh no
    No matter what my friends might say
    I ain't missing you

    I don't need no doctor, my prescription tells me that
    All I need is my baby, you don't know why I'm in misery

    I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor
    I don't need no doctor, I don't need no doctor

    Well the doctor said I need rest- ooh ooh
    He put me on the critical list- ooh ooh
    Keeping me safe from harm- ooh ooh
    All I need is her sweet charm- ooh ooh
    He gave me a medicated lotion, that wouldn't do
    Ooh, yeah my emotion, oh yeah, no doctor no

    Dylan's got tons. Some are pretty bittersweet though. Your best (Dylan) bet's Mama, You Been On My Mind:

    Perhaps it's the color of the sun cut flat
    An' cov'rin' the crossroads I'm standing at,
    Or maybe it's the weather or something like that,
    But mama, you been on my mind.

    I don't mean trouble, please don't put me down or get upset,
    I am not pleadin' or sayin', "I can't forget."
    I do not walk the floor bowed down an' bent, but yet,
    Mama, you been on my mind.

    Even though my mind is hazy an' my thoughts they might be narrow,
    Where you been don't bother me nor bring me down in sorrow.
    It don't even matter to me where you're wakin' up tomorrow,
    But mama, you're just on my mind.

    I am not askin' you to say words like "yes" or "no,"
    Please understand me, I got no place for you t' go.
    I'm just breathin' to myself, pretendin' not that I don't know,
    Mama, you been on my mind.

    When you wake up in the mornin', baby, look inside your mirror.
    You know I won't be next to you, you know I won't be near.
    I'd just be curious to know if you can see yourself as clear
    As someone who has had you on his mind.
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------
    Here are more (just cause I like doing this sort of thing):

    Absolutely Sweet Marie
    Alberta #1
    Boots of Spanish Leather
    I Remember You
    If You See Her, Say Hello
    Living the Blues
    Lonesome Day Blues
    Most of the Time
    One More Weekend
    Spanish Harlem Incident
    Tomorrow is a Long Time
    Where Are You Tonight
    You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go

    Shed a tear 'cause I'm missing you
    I'm still alright to smile
    Girl, I think about you every day now
    Was a time when I wasn't sure
    But you set my mind at ease
    There is no doubt you're in my heart now
    Said woman take it slow
    It'll work itself out fine
    All we need is just a little patience
    Said sugar make it slow
    And we'll come together fine
    All we need is just a little patience
    Patience...
    Ooh, oh, yeah

    Sit here on the stairs
    'Cause I'd rather be alone
    If I can't have you right now, I'll wait dear
    Sometimes, I get so tense
    But I can't speed up the time
    But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider
    Said woman take it slow
    Things will be just fine
    You and I'll just use a little patience
    Said sugar take the time
    'Cause the lights are shining bright
    You and I've got what it takes to make it
    We won't fake it, Oh never break it
    'Cause I can't take it

    I don't care what anyone else put. These lyric's will win her back.

    As a songwriter, let me make sure you are aware your heartache feeds this girl.

    I've written songs dedicated to women in the hopes it might work out. It don't.

    Pay attention. Learn. Women are as stupid as men.
    They are at least smart enough to keep their cards on the table.


    Said she's had enough of me
    I've had enough of her too
    I might as well go on and set her free
    She's already turned me loose
    No fault, no blame, nobody done no wrong
    That's just the way it sometimes goes
    Sometimes two people just don't get along
    And it's time to hit the road

    Chorus:
    Goodbye, farewell, so long, vaya con dios
    Good luck, wish you well, take it slow
    Easy come, easy go

    We tried to work it out a hundred times
    Ninety-nine it didn't work
    I think it's best we put it all behind
    Before we wind up getting hurt
    No hard feelings, darling, no regrets
    No tears and no broken hearts
    Call it quits, calling off all bets
    It just wasn't in the cards

    Chorus

    Easy come, girl, easy go
    Vaya con dios, good luck
    Easy come, easy go

    Rolling Stones - Miss You


    I've been holding out so long
    I've been sleeping all alone
    Lord I miss you
    I've been hanging on the phone
    I've been sleeping all alone
    I want to kiss you

    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
    Oooh oooh oooh

    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh

    Well, I've been haunted in my sleep
    You've been starring in my dreams
    Lord I miss you
    I've been waiting in the hall
    Been waiting on your call
    When the phone rings
    It's just some friends of mine that say,
    "Hey, what's the matter man?
    We're gonna come around at twelve
    With some Puerto Rican girls that are just dyin' to meet you.
    We're gonna bring a case of wine
    Hey, let's go mess and fool around
    You know, like we used to"

    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah

    Oh everybody waits so long
    Oh baby why you wait so long
    Won't you come on! Come on!

    I've been walking in Central Park
    Singing after dark
    People think I'm crazy
    I've been stumbling on my feet
    Shuffling through the street
    Asking people, "What's the matter with you boy?"

    Sometimes I want to say to myself
    Sometimes I say

    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
    Oooh oooh oooh

    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
    Oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh oooh
    I won't miss you child

    I guess I'm lying to myself
    It's just you and no one else
    Lord I won't miss you child
    You've been blotting out my mind
    Fooling on my time
    No, I won't miss you, baby, yeah

    Lord, I miss you child

    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah

    Lord, I miss you child

    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah

    Lord, I miss you child

    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah aaah
    Aaah aaah aaah aaah
