Why Don't I Miss You Lyrics


Remember back at Ryder High
Wishing on stars in the Texas sky
I got your name tattooed
Across my heart, how could we lose?Back in black when we were hand in hand
Two young kids like Jack and Diane
Falling at the speed of light
And burning up never felt so rightSo why I don't miss you?
Tell me what am I supposed to do
After all the shit that we've been through
I can't feel a thingMaybe I was too high
Maybe I just sobered up too soon
And you're still on the dark side of the moon
And always on my mind
So why don't I miss you?So many nights we drove around
King and queen of the whole damn town
Voted 'Most likely to succeed'
We were everybody?s meant to beBurned out plans to take over the world
Did I fuck it up or did we just get bored

Of losing at the same old game?
We had our 15 minutes of fameWe took it all the way
You can't say we didn't trySo why I don't miss you?
Tell me what am I supposed to do
After all the shit that we've been through
I can't feel a thingMaybe I was too high
Maybe I just sobered up too soon
And you're still on the dark side of the moon
And always on my mind
So why don't I miss you?Why don't I miss the way
You laugh at everything I say?
You mom?s apple pie
Always blew me awayIt?s funny how I always write
The same old song
I wonder if you ever sing along with me
Sing along with meSo why I don't miss you?
Tell me what am I supposed to do
After all the shit that we've been through
I can't feel a thingMaybe I was too high
Maybe I sobered up too soon
And you're still on the dark side of the moon
And you're always on my mind
So why don't I miss you?(Burned out plans to take over the world)
(I got your name tattooed)
Why don't I miss you?
(Did I fuck it up or did we just get bored?
(Across my heart, how could we lose?Why don't I miss you?
(So many nights we drove around)
(But we were losing at the same old game)
Why don't I miss you?
(King and queen of the whole damn town)
(We had our 15 minutes of fame)
Why don't I miss you?

Bowling for Soup (acronym: BFS, or sometimes B4S) is a pop punk band based in Denton, Texas (but originally from Wichita Falls, Texas) formed in 1994 from the ruins of an old metal band. Quoting Jaret Reddick, the lead singer, "we wanted to make happy music". They're known for their often humorous lyrics, upbeat guitar riffs, and Jaret's distinctive voice.

They are best known for their singles "Girl All The Bad Guys Want" in 2002 on Drunk Enough To Dance which was nominated for a 2003 Grammy Award for "Best Pop Performance by a Group or Duo" and "1985" (originally written by Mitch Allan of SR-71) in 2004 on A Hangover You Don't Deserve. Speaking with Songfacts about "Girl All The Bad Girls Want" in a 2010 interview, Reddick said: "'Girl All The Bad Guys Want' was my very first co-write ever, and me and Butch Walker sat in a room and literally wrote that song in 30 minutes. I mean, it was done."

The band's name is derived from comedian Steve Martin's "Bowling for Sh*t" routine from his 1978 comedy album, Wild and Crazy Guy, itself a reference to Bowling for Dollars. Jaret Reddick has also stated that at the end of his last performance with his old band one of the members came on stage and proclaimed "Come back next week when we play with our new band... Bowling For Soup!". This was supposed be to be joke name, but since they couldn't think of anything better the name stuck. Their single '1985' can be found on the UK and the Norwegian editions of Singstar Rocks for the PS2.

They have also became hits on Radio Disney with edits of "1985", "Punk Rock 101", "High School Never Ends", and the inclusion of their version of "I Melt With You" in the Disney movie "Sky High". They have also written and recorded "Today Is Gonna Be A Great Day" as the theme song for Disney's "Phineas and Ferb"
