Chilblains - You Just Missed It Lyrics

Saw that highway chair
Just sitting there
In the corner of my eye
From that roadside perch
An old man searched
For his life gone speeding by

You just missed it
Don't get it twisted
Or resist it
It's lost before it's found
You just missed it
Don't get it twisted
I insist that
You turn this thing around

Passed a river sign
For the thirteenth time
On this twenty-five hour day
You turned your head
Saw the sky instead
That river always gets away

You just missed it
Don't get it twisted
Or resist it
It's lost before it's found
You just missed it
Don't get it twisted
I insist that
You turn this thing around

Detours and U-turns
Folklore and funeral urns
Flat tires and grease fires
Big needs and small desires

Those wedding pictures
Man, you sure picked her
Like a star out of the black
Now the sky is filled
With pay slips and bills
And you're reeling in the slack

You just missed it
Don't get it twisted
Or resist it
It's lost before it's found
You just missed it
Don't get it twisted
I insist that
You turn this thing around
