Well I have been here before.
Walked through your open door into the life inside,
Where ghosts from your past, like to hide.
And I can't stand this place, or the look that’s on your face,
Where I find myself so trapped, so tangled, time and time again.
And baby, don't you know that there's a better life than this?
And lately, we both know, it don't get much worse than this.
But I can vaguely see you now, here tonight.
It is Hit or Miss.
You kept running, you never slowed down.
Wrong way, you never turned around.
And now you see, you are set in your ways and can't break free.
Life seems too short lately, hanging round this town baby,
We gotta get with what we have, just pack your things, we’ll leave tonight.
Cos baby, don't you know there's a better life than this?
And lately, we both know, it don't get much worse than this.
But I can vaguely see you now, here tonight.
It is Hit or Miss.
It is Hit or Miss now baby, and I never know if I'm in line.
It is Hit or Miss now lately, darlin' please throw me some signs.
The lights are going out in this town, nothing left but me and you.
It is Hit or Miss now baby..
