Francis Forever
thanks for watching

[nancymartin]

my grand daughter got me into Mitski, what a wonderful voice. she is such a beautiful woman too, I under stand why you young folk love this girl so much.

[endlesslove]

"i miss you more than anything" hits different when i dont know who i miss

[hwimilk]

"and autumn comes when you're not yet done with the summer passing by" is one of the most heartbreaking things i've ever heard written.

[truetravesty]

The love of my life died in a crash, this is one of the few "love songs" I feel like was made for me and him. Great to cry to at 3am when I can't stop thinking about what could've been. Thank you Mitski.

“I miss you more than anything.” Hits different when the person you miss it still here. They’ve just changed so much that they’re unrecognizable.


Edit:
(I was SO angsty and self pitying when I wrote this lol, but I was also going through some big emotions & changes that I did not know how to deal with at the time, & the internet/music was like my escape. I just wanted to edit this and say that I hope everyone who replied to this is doing well. This comment still resonates with me, but not nearly as much as it did. Life goes on, & I know everything will work out. Might delete this edit lol, but I still get replies and likes on this comment sometimes & I just felt like saying that I’m not necessarily ashamed of it, but I have changed & grown a lot. Thought maybe that would be uplifting.)

“ I don’t need the world to see I’ve been the best I can be “ hits really hard. I always say I could’ve done it better knowing I gave it all yet still ended up an disappointment

[stanaoi]

"I miss you more then anything" that hit hard

[luanajivan]

i had a friend, we used to call him the sun. he committed suicide less than 5 months ago. he helped me getting through my parents divorce and meant a lot to me. his little sister used to say she wanted to be just like me. now, i can't even face the little girl who looks just like him and i miss him more than everything. sunny days always remind me of him. and this song will always be the song that will remind me of him.

edit: thank you everyone who answered, i never wrote this expecting any answer and my heart is filled with love to know people have so much compassion with others. it's been 2 years now and everything stills hurts but i have been living one day at a time with him in my heart.

The reason "I miss you more than anything" hits so hard despite being a very basic lyric is because of the previous lines. The entire verse so far has mostly been Mitski describing her walk and the sun and the trees, all of which have nothing to do with a person, then suddenly it brings them up again. It's the feeling of trying to distract yourself from your grief by focusing on the present, only to fail and have them pop into your mind again.

[merakimir]

the best song to have a mental breakdown to

[nat]

This hits more when you miss a guy called Francis and you can relate to all the lyrics

[StarlitSunLight]

This one is my favorite lyric video for this song because of the background

[janiec]

I’m on a mitski song binge rn and crying in the comments

[theantisnakeservices]

I saw the adventure time version before this one, and the fact that not only did I grow up on that show, but I’ve also been listening to mitski for a few years, and I’m only just now realizing that marceline covered her, best coincidence ever

[GhostO]

Missing an online friend is so hard because you'll be on the verge of tears thinking about them and their name will be "shart girl" or something 💀💀

[maydayduckie]

On sunny days, I go out walking: Wow, same Mitski!

I end up on a tree lined street: Sounds peaceful

I look up at the gaps of sunlight: That must be so nice

I miss you more than anything: *bawling on the floor*

[hunterroach]

Lyrics
I don't know what to do without you
I don't know where to put my hands
I've been trying to lay my head down
But I'm writing this at three AM

I don't need the world to see
That I've been the best I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me

On sunny days I go out walking
I end up on a tree-lined street
I look up at the gaps of sunlight
I miss you more than anything

I don't need the world to see
That I've been the best I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me

And autumn comes when you're not yet done
With the summer passing by, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me

[scorpion]

1:00 - 1:20
hits so hard.
A year ago, my childhood best friend who was my lover passed away in a plane crash. I miss him so much, its so hard trying to move on from his loss.
I wish i could grow old with him but now I cant, its so so hard coping from his loss.

[BugsBrains]

My favorite line in any mitski song is definitely..."autumn comes when you're not yet done with summer, passing by."

[hammer]

"I miss you more than anything" hits different when the person you're missing is still there, you see them everyday but knowing they're not gonna come back to you is just shit, its shit.
