Missed My Chance Lyrics - Singles - Griffin House

Passed through main street yesterday 

And, oh, this town just ain't the same 

Looked in the window and it was gone 

All those tables I'd written on 

We're vanished as if I had never been there 

Like the poets and prophets who can't find the words so they stare 

And all that made sense has somehow turned askew 

I missed my chance with you 

There were seconds then minutes then years that I could not breathe 

In the Pere Lachaise with the hammer the chisel and the stone 

Now I've bartered and begged for what I believed 

And I saw that the name engraved was my own 

Now there's nothing so peaceful as when I met you 

And there's nothing so lonely as when it was through 

And the words, "I'm not here anymore", echo into 

"I missed my chance with you" 

Had love play so many tricks on me 

I've always felt cheated that you'd make me leave 

Like taking my sight after letting me see 

But I found out love had something up it's sleeve 

Leave me scattered like leaves by winds that never blew 

When I captured the starts 

In the palm of my hand it was true 

I'd just give them back to you 

I was seventeen, but just for one year 

I always knew one day, I'd end up here 

And the sands have now fallen to the evening of my afternoon 

I'm was always so ready to stay and always leaving too soon 

And I don't want to think about it now, but I do 

And my spirit is restless 

'Cause I know it's true 

I missed my chance with you
