Lyrics meaning

The speaker walks alone at night, feeling confused and unsettled about a relationship. The repeated question โ€œIs it my fault?โ€ suggests guilt, but the lyric does not give a clear answer. Instead, the repeated idea that they have been โ€œmissing each otherโ€ points to distance or poor timing between two people. The mood shifts from anxious searching toward a wish for closeness, though the speaker still seems uncertain.

The fog โ€œto make my mind seem clearโ€ carries a gentle contradiction: the speaker hopes the walk will help them think, but the fog also suggests confusion. At the waterโ€™s edge, they ask why they are there instead of at home, showing a pull between being alone and wanting connection. โ€œLike you were here with meโ€ may mean the person is absent but strongly present in the speakerโ€™s thoughts.

The song leaves open what โ€œmissing each otherโ€ means. It could describe failing to meet, misunderstanding one another, or being emotionally out of step. The question of fault may reflect self-blame, but it could also express a broader uncertainty about how the relationship reached this point. The moments when the speaker needs someone most make the absence feel sharper, without explaining whether reconciliation is possible.
