Analysis of I Missed It



Did I drop our match on your hatch
Got me thinking out loud
Because now you won’t come out
I still don’t know what to think
It feels like everything left in a blink
I’ve closed my eyes
Now it’s the end of time
It’s been an endless climb
In between the grasses of fire
Remember we ran just to get higher
Somewhat glad I missed it all
Kinda wish that’d happen more
