You Missed My Heart Lyrics - Perils From The Sea - Mark Kozelek

Broke into her house. Saw her sittin' there, 

Drinking coke and whiskey in her bra and underwear. 

Saw him in the kitchen, hangin' up the phone. 

I asked him nicely please to pack his things and go. 

He gave her a firm, reassuring look that said he wouldn't leave. 

But I asked him one more time and this time pulled out my shiv. 

I struck him in the back and I pulled it out slow 

And I watched him fall down, 

And as the morning sun rose, 

He looked at me and said: 

"You missed my heart. 

You missed my heart. 

You got me good. I knew you would. 

But you missed my heart. 

You missed my heart." 

Were his last words before he died.

Looking out the window, up at the blue sky, 

Listening to her scream, listening to her cry. 

A feeling of relief came over my soul. 

I couldn't take it any longer and I lost control. 

I chased her up the stairs 

And I pinned her to the ground, 

And underneath her whimpering, 

I could hear the sirens sound. 

I rattled off a list of everything I missed 

Like going to the movies with her 

And the way she kissed me. 

Driving into Wheeling and showing her off. 

Backyard barbecues and reunions in the park. 

I said I loved her skin and she started laughing 

And while I clenched down on her wrist 

She said "That's quite a list, 

But there's one thing you missed. 

Photos 

You missed my heart, you missed my heart 

That's quite a list, but what you really missed, 

You missed my heart, you missed my heart 

That's quite a list, but what you really missed. 

Running through the parking lot 

Running through the fields 

Policemen on my back 

Something hit my skull and cracked 

They dragged me off to jail, set a million dollar bail 

Where I tried to tie a noose, but I failed and I broke loose 

Racing through the prison yard, 

Shot down by a tower guard 

He got me in the shins 

And he got me in the arms 

They strapped me in the gurney 

Took me to the infirmary 

Where the priest read my last rites 

And just before, everything went dark 

I said: 

"He missed my heart, he missed my heart 

He got me good, I knew he would, 

But he missed my heart, he missed my heart" 

And just before, everything went dark, 

The most poetic dream came flowing like the sea 

Lay in there my life, but draining out of me 

A childhood scene then, sky moon beams, 

Fishing with my friends sitting in the wild lands 

Watching the Ohio river flow at night 

Waiting for the bullhead catfishes to bite 

Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards
