I Missed It
Once I had a sweetheart
She kinda looked like Joan Fontaine
She made mediocre art
But had a fascinating brain
She asked me
How I felt about monogamy
I didn't understand
What she was telling me, no
Well, you can come up short
And never know
Another debt I'm gonna owe
Well, I missed it, I missed it, I missed it
I got so close, I could have kissed it
But then I missed it, I missed it, resisted
Now those days are gone
Once I held my own set of keys
To the senior executive suite
With my very own secretary taking my calls
And telling me who I was scheduled to meet with
They asked me what I thought about advancement
I wasn't sure what 'we have other plans' meant
Well, you can lose your place
And never know
Another chance I'm gonna blow
So I missed it, I missed it, I missed it
I got so close, I could have kissed it
But then I missed it, I missed it, resisted

Now those days are gone
You can have the distance all you like
And still not ever touch it
You can split the difference all your life
It hurts, it hurts so much, it
Once I entertained the notion
I could skate along on charm
Count on my wit and my looks alone
To keep me safe from harm
You asked me how it felt to be a dilettante
(What?)
I knew that you knew the answer
But you didn't wanna hear it
No, you didn't wanna hear it
Well, you can blow your shot
And never know
Another game I'm gonna throw
So I missed it, I missed it, I missed it
I got so close, I could have kissed it
But then I missed it, I missed it
I pissed it all away
I missed it, I missed it, I missed it
You all said no, but I insisted
That's how I missed it, I missed it, I missed it
Now those days are gone
