I Miss You
5 Seconds Of Summer · Unplugged [2012]
Hello there,
the angel from my nightmare,
the shadow in the background of the morgue.
The unsuspecting victim,
of darkness in the valley,
we can live like Jack and Sally if we want.
Where you can always find me,
we'll have Halloween on Christmas,
and in the night we'll wish this never ends.
We'll wish this never ends.
(I miss you, I miss you)
(I miss you, I miss you)
[Luke:]
Where are you,
and I'm so sorry,
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream tonight.
I need somebody and always,
this sick strange darkness,
comes creeping on so haunting every time.
As I stared I counted,
the webs from all the spiders,
catching things and eating their insides.
Like indecision to call you,
and hear your voice of treason,
will you come home and stop this pain tonight?
Stop this pain tonight.
[All:]
Don't waste your time on me you're already,
the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already,
the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
[Calum:]
Don't waste your time on me you're already,
the voice inside my head..
[All:]
Don't waste your time on me you're already,
the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already,
the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already,
the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
Don't waste your time on me you're already,
the voice inside my head (I miss you, I miss you)
I Miss You
I Miss You stands as a defining track from 5 Seconds of Summer's early acoustic era, showcasing the band's transition from pop-punk roots to a more intimate sound. Recorded for the Unplugged [2012] collection, the song highlights the group's ability to deliver emotional depth through stripped-back instrumentation. This period marked a crucial phase in their development, establishing a foundation of melodic sensitivity that would later permeate their full-length studio albums. The recording captures the raw energy and youthful vulnerability characteristic of their initial rise, offering listeners a glimpse into the band's formative years before they achieved global mainstream success. As part of their growing catalogue, the work remains a testament to their evolving songwriting and performance style during this pivotal time.
