You Missed My Heart - Mark Kozelek.mp3

[00:29.794]I broke into her house, saw her sittin' there
[00:35.908]Drinking coke and whiskey in her bra and underwear
[00:42.629]I saw him in the kitchen, hangin' up the phone
[00:48.636]I asked him nicely once to pack his things and go
[00:55.000]He gave her a firm, reassuring look that said he wouldn't leave
[01:01.149]So I asked him one more time and this time pulled out my shiv
[01:08.253]Struck him in the back and I pulled it out slow
[01:14.702]Watched him fall down as the morning sun rose
[01:21.706]he looked at me and said
[01:24.094]You missed my heart, you missed my heart
[01:31.020]You got me good, I knew you would
[01:37.114]But you missed my heart, you missed my heart
[01:43.927]Were his last words before he died
[01:52.536]Looking out the window, up at the blue sky
[01:59.115]Listening to her scream, listening to her cry
[02:05.406]A feeling of relief came over my soul
[02:11.061]I couldn't take it any longer and I lost control
[02:18.219]I chased her up the stairs and I pinned her to the ground
[02:24.323]And underneath her whimpering I could hear the sirens sound
[02:30.119]I rattled off a list of everything I missed
[02:36.614]Like going to the movies with her and the way she kissed me
[02:43.224]Driving into Downtown Wheeling, showing her off
[02:49.335]Backyard barbecues and reunions in the park
[02:55.240]I said I missed her skin and she started laughing
[03:01.133]While I clenched down on her wrist
[03:04.751]She said, That's quite a list but there's one thing you missed
[03:11.472]You missed my heart, you missed my heart
[03:18.341]That's quite a list, but what you really missed
[03:26.834]Running through the parking lot, running through the fields
[03:33.358]Policemen on my back, something hit my skull and cracked
[03:39.405]They dragged me off to jail, set a million dollar bail
[03:45.243]Where I tried to tie a noose, but I failed and I broke loose
[03:51.444]We're racing through the prison yard, shot down by a tower guard
[03:57.999]He got me in the shins and he got me in the arms
[04:04.052]They strapped me in the gurney, took me off to the infirmary
[04:10.093]Where the priest read my last rites
[04:14.383]And just before everything went dark
[04:19.684]I said, he missed my heart, he missed my heart
[04:26.569]He got me good, I knew he would
[04:32.621]But he missed my heart, he missed my heart
[04:38.865]And just before everything went dark
[04:47.271]The most poetic dream came flowing like the sea
[04:53.874]Lay in there my life but draining out of me
[04:59.787]A childhood scene then sky moon beams
[05:06.458]Fishing with my friends, sitting in the wild lands
[05:12.614]Watching the Ohio river flow at night
[05:18.933]Waiting for the bullhead catfishes to bite
[05:24.651]Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard
[05:36.783]Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard
[05:49.290]Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyard
