Story behind the song
It's about missing someone even though you never really had the connection that you should have had.
Lyrics
verse:
I find myself a bit surprised
That tears keep coming to my eyes.
They say you don't miss what you never knew,
Maybe I miss not missing you.
chorus:
Each going our own direction,
With no time to stop for reflection.
Like traveling salesmen without a plan,
Missed connections were all we had.
verse:
I didn't know how much I missed
Those comforting hugs that people give their kids.
Some kind words of encouragement,
Instead of unspoken discouragement.
chorus
verse:
Friends say you were a character.
Everyone says how much fun you were
But I needed to know you were there for me
To guide and protect and care for me.
chorus
