Near Miss
Story
This is a true story of me and somebody I knew.
Lyrics
Princess of a distant landWhat am I to you?
Drawn by an insistent hand
Do you see the dream too?
People said that it seemed weird
I don't know what you were thinking
All I know is when you appeared
I was afraid to blink
You came to Earth like the light of a star
But I was just a near miss
Flying fast and flying far
Yet your hold persists
Every man must have a time
When he totally fails
You were there when I found mine
We turned away
I fell to Earth like a lifeless rock
I'll nevef know if you were near me
Someone found my broken body
It comes to this:
We fell together and fell apart
Didn't we know it was a near miss?
