Intro
Ooh
Verse 1
I remember better days
I'd be like, "Hey, boy, come on right around"
And you did, and you did, and you did, you always met me there
We were young, we were dumb, yeah, we had a good run
Pre-Chorus
But now, I'm off that Rie ", I'm off that Riesling
Out in these streets, deleting what you mean to me
Then you pop back, back in my mind
I go back in time
Chorus
It was the perfect night
Kissin' you
Was rainin' purple skies
In my room
Me and you
Ooh, I'm missin' you
Ooh, I'm "
Verse 2
I miss that feelin' you would bring (Ooh, woah)
I miss the way that you would make my sidekick bling (Bling) and bling (Bling)
I look at my fingers and think about rings
Yeah, we had a good thing
Pre-Chorus
But now I'm off that Rie ", I'm off that Riesling
Out in these streets, deleting what you mean to me
Then you pop back (You), back in my mind (Mind)
I go back in time
Chorus
It was the perfect night
Kissin' you
Was rainin' purple skies
In my room
Me and you, baby
Ooh, I'm missin' you
Ooh, I'm "
Bridge
Got me dreamin' 'bout the good times, the bad times
Man, we went through it, but we held tight, you by my side
I thought I knew it at the time we would be forever, babe
But life keeps movin' and people change
Got me reminiscin' all the way back
All up in my feelings, all up in my past
Ooh, baby, ain't nobody love like you
So 'til I move on, I'll just be missin' you
Breakdown
No, yeah
Oh, woah, oh
Chorus
It was the perfect night (That night)
Kissin' you (Oh, I'm missin' you)
Was rainin' purple skies
In my room
Me and you
Ooh, I'm missin' you (Ah, yeah)
Ooh, I'm "
Outro
I'm missin' you

Missin U - R&B Edit Song Meaning, Biblical Reference and Inspiration
Tori Kelly's song "Missin U" in its R&B Edit explores the poignant theme of longing for a past love. The track delves into a reflective state, reminiscing about a relationship that, while acknowledged as a good run, has ended. It captures the feeling of being pulled back into cherished memories even while attempting to move forward. This particular version gained visibility partly through a Vevo live performance released on August 3, 2023, showcasing Kelly's vocal delivery on this introspective piece.
The lyrics paint a picture of intense nostalgia, recalling specific moments from the past relationship. The artist reflects on the ease of connection, shared experiences, and the physical closeness that defined the bond. Memories of intimate nights and the simple presence of the other person are central to the feeling of loss expressed throughout the song. There's a clear sense of holding onto the 'good times' and even the 'bad times', acknowledging the depth and history shared.
Despite the strong pull of the past, the song also touches upon the effort to move on and the realization that circumstances change and relationships can end, even when permanence was once envisioned. The struggle between deleting past significance and having those memories spontaneously return is a core element. Ultimately, the track settles into an open admission of still missing the lost connection, suggesting that this feeling persists while the process of moving forward continues.
