I Miss You Lyrics

(I miss you, miss you)

Hello there, the angel from my nightmare,
The shadow in the background of the morgue,
The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley
We can live like Jack and Sally if you want
Where you can always find me...

   The song also says stuff like "to hear your voice of treason" which could mean that the girl cheated on him and he is pissed off at that but still wants her back

   The Jack and Sally line is referring to Travis and his wife for sure...Either way this is a really good song and sums up how you feel when you miss someone at wierd hours in the worst ways and you feel really depressed about...whether you screwed up or your just fighting this song really touches on missing someone...I personally think this song is about fixing a stpid fight and being away from that person...like on tour...and not being able to see them and fix the problem but they miss them more than they could explain in words. This song hit me the hardest late at nights when I had gotten out of a long reltaionship and couldnt sleep...Blink 182 has always had kick ass songs though I'm going to miss the old them in the worst ways haha.

   The words at the end of "violence" were words marks grandfather wrote to his wife during world war 2 I think. (says it in the booklet)...but it actually has to do with the song "stockholm syndrome" because the whole paranoia stuff.

   Right interpretation about Mark's grandpa writing those letter to his gran during the war but wrong song, those were actually the inspiration to the spoken part at the end of 'Violence' its really sweet n thoughtful but the best song on 'Blink 182' has to be 'Heres Your Letter' amazing lyrics guys sucks you had 2 split xx.

   What the hell!!?? Not even, asswipe, it has to do with Travis missing his wife.

    The letter was written by, I think, Tom's or Mark's grandpa to his wife during the war and they thought it went well with the album. Has nothing to do with Tom's wife.

    Yes indeedy, there is parts of the song that relate to The Nightmare Before Christmas by Tim Burton along with parts of the video. The lines 'And we can live like jack and sally if we want, Where you can always find me and we'll have Halloween on Christmas.' are based around the movie and the video for I Miss You just has the same vibe as the movie(TNBC).
    
    Anyway, I think this song is about Tom's missing of his family (One of the factors in the breaking up of this band.... Tom wanted a break... Mark never cared... Read Kerrang! cause I can't be bothered going over the break up... its just depressing!). This was just one of the many songs on the self titled album that Tom wrote about this and if you listen to the ending few minutes of Violence there's a big ass message to Toms wife. I really strayed from the point didn't i? So... I Miss You = Directed at Toms wife.
    
    **** In the video there's a scene where two lesbians kiss... Why do I just know Tom was standing behind the camera crews etc and nodding in approval? ****
    
    Thank you, that is all... Good night.
    
    BLINK RULE! \\m/ (-_-) \\m/

    Last time I checked, the only line having anything to do with Nightmare Before Christmas was "We can live like Jack and Sally if we want" and Travis said that that line was for him and Shana in the CD booklet. The title pretty much explains it, it's about missing someone.

    No, it doesn't necessarily mean they are dead. Obviously there is the longing for things to be different, whether they USED to be this way, or the wisher wants them to be, it's hard to tell. In the CD booklet it says something about it being based upon an ex-girlfriend of one of the band members.

    I know it's from a movie or something but to me it's about missin someoe very important to you like a girl or friend or a family member that died.
