Miss You In Theory - Jordan Vale

Описание: Jordan Vale - Miss You In Theory (Official Audio)

Some people aren’t missed for who they were, but for who you needed them to be. This is an emotional alt-pop hip-hop track about grieving the idea of home, the “what if,” and the version of love that never happened. If you’ve ever missed someone in your head but knew they weren’t safe in real life, this song will hit.

Lyrics: Miss You In Theory - Jordan Vale

Yeah
It’s weird what you miss
When you’re finally okay.

Sunlight on the counter, dust dancing in the air
I should feel proud, like I escaped something there
But a smell hits my chest like a door I forgot
And suddenly I’m back in a place I’m not

I don’t miss the noise, I don’t miss the fights
I don’t miss the days that felt longer than nights
I don’t miss the way I learned to shrink to fit
But I miss something, and I hate admitting it

Maybe it’s not you
Maybe it’s the kid in me
Still hoping for a version
That never got to be

‘Cause I miss you in theory
I miss you in my head
I miss the home I made up
When the real one left me scared
I miss the way it could’ve been
If love was more than words
If “family” wasn’t something
That you had to earn
So no, I don’t miss the damage
I don’t miss the nights I cried
I just miss the idea of you
The idea of alright
Yeah, I miss you in theory
But I don’t miss you in real life

I scroll past old numbers, thumb hovering like “don’t”
Like closure’s just a call away, but I know it won’t
Fix the holes in the drywall, fix the holes in my chest
Fix the way I learned “goodbye” before I learned “rest”

And I’m older now, but it still stings the same
How you can love somebody and still hate their name
How you can leave a place and it keeps its grip
Like a shadow in the mirror that you can’t outrun quick

So I write a little letter I’ll never send
To the past, to the pain, to the “what if” again
I’m not asking for an answer
I’m just letting it breathe

‘Cause I miss you in theory
I miss you in my head
I miss the home I made up
When the real one left me scared
I miss the way it could’ve been
If love was more than words
If “family” wasn’t something
That you had to earn
So no, I don’t miss the damage
I don’t miss the nights I cried
I just miss the idea of you
The idea of alright
Yeah, I miss you in theory
But I don’t miss you in real life

I used to blame myself for wanting warmth
Like it was weakness to need more
Like I should be grateful for the scraps
When I was starving at the door

But I’m learning that forgiveness
Ain’t pretending it was fine
It’s just taking back my power
One memory at a time

And if the valley wants to haunt me
Let it try
I got speakers in the dark
And I survived

Yeah, I miss you in theory
I miss you in my head
I miss the home I made up
When the real one left me scared
I miss the way it could’ve been
If love was more than words
If “family” wasn’t something
That you had to earn
So no, I don’t miss the damage
I don’t miss the nights I cried
I just miss the idea of you
The idea of alright
Yeah, I miss you in theory
But I’m choosing my real life

I’m choosing my real life.
