#vs 'i've heard you got it so bad cause I am the best you'll never have'

[daeluin]

ok but really the part that always gets me the most about miss missing you is the second verse:

"now you're gone, but I'll be okay / your hot whiskey eyes have fanned the flame / maybe I'll burn a little brighter tonight / let the fire breath me back to life"

and the idea of patrick of working on this song during the hiatus and shelving it because it's not *his* solo song. of the imaginery of meeting someone else when you're a kid and them igniting a passion in you just by being there and believing in you so fiercely. of drifting apart of that person but that passion, that fire remains and maybe it's enough to keep you going on your own. because they may have feed the sparks inside you enough to turn them into a wildfire that can sustain itself without them. you don't need them anymore, you never did (except you did, maybe) because that fire is all yours but you miss them. and you miss missing them. and you hope maybe you can burn bright enough to keep yourself alive

and then in a funny twist of fate or a well constructed story you can't finish your song because it's not yours. not really. it's not finished until you get back together. and finally it's that burning passion that gets you back together and it's only when you're with your band that finally you can burn as bright
