I Missed It Harvey Danger

Once I had a sweetheart;
She kind of 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
(All right!)
