Lyrics
The song is sung from the perspective of a young woman who desperately misses her boyfriend, who has gone off to college. She wonders if he still loves her, despite their separation, and fears she may have lost him to his new life. The chorus states:
It's been too long and I'm lost without you
What am I going to do? Said I've been
Needing you, wanting you (Said I need you..)
Wondering if you're the same and who's been with you
Is your heart still mine? I wanna cry sometimes
I miss you
In other parts of the song, it makes reference to their relationship in the past, and how she cares about him even now, saying that she doesn't want to be a distraction from his new life:
Now I'm sitting here thinking 'bout you
And the days we used to share...
It's driving me crazy, I don't know what to do
I'm just wondering if you still care.
I don't wanna let you know that it's killing me
I know you got another life
You gotta concentrate, baby
Come back, to me...
Overall, the song has no ending resolution, the bridge stating:
I.. can't.. breathe.. no.. more
Since you went away...
I don't really feel like talking
Don't wanna hear you don't love me
Baby, do you understand me?
I can't do a thing without you
