When I Miss You

from Geekiest Hits: Vol. 1 by Kirby Krackle

about

In some ways, "When I Miss You" might be the most meaningful song we've ever written. The song is not about loss, but about celebration of the time we have with each other while we're here. Logan was my dog and buddy that was in my studio with me from the very beginning of Kirby Krackle and for many significant life events. He would sit by me every day and listen as I demoed songs for every album, and if you look closely was listed as "engineer" in the liner notes of most our physical releases. His job was just as important as any instrument in that he provided relaxation and light-heartedness for me when the business of being in an independent band would become stressful; an ear and trustworthy companion is there ever was one.

Logan passed in my arms during Fall of 2012, right when I began writing songs for "Sounds Like You" and though I wanted to include a tribute to our friend on that album, it was just too soon. "When I Miss You" is something that had been floating around as a concept for a while but never finalized lyrically until the day we went in the studio; I just had to let it happen from the feeling of what he brought to my life. It was so important to have this song be just right, and only when I started singing from my heart and not from my head was when it began to take shape and become what the song was always meant to be.

We included "When I Miss You" as a new offering on GEEKIEST HITS: Vol. 1 as a tribute to our friend who has been there since the beginning of Kirby Krackle's journey, and will always be a part of it in spirit moving forward.

lyrics

I walked into an empty room
No one else was around
You looked and me and I looked at you
Checking each other out
Cause I never thought when this began
And I was the one that took you in
That in time it would be plain to see
That you were the one that rescued me

I never turned away, when you ran the other way
When I miss you…are you missing me?

We sat alone in an empty house
Staring at the walls for hours
You stayed with me when I didn’t know
What to do, when, or how

I’ll never forget the day she came
And I had a chance for things to change
I told you you’d never be replaced
Then you put a kiss upon my face

Cold autumn walks at dusk
Then it was the three of us

When I miss you…are you missing me?

So I look up, look up, when I feel like a lonely boy
Wait up, wait up, wait up, I’ll follow you….

Then when the day to part had come
Again you’re the one who kept me strong
Held you so tight between my arms
So you never doubt where you belonged

I knew you couldn’t stay (I felt you slip away)
But you never went away

When I miss you…are you missing me?
