Hit Or Miss Lyrics

The needle on my record player has been wearing thin
This record has been playing since the day you've been with him

No more long rides home
No more of your station
I didn't like it anyway
Remember the time we wrote our names up on the wall
Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song

Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I waited too long
Too see you

Maybe it's for the best
Maybe it's not for anything
It wouldn't be so bad to take this right from me

No more long rides home
No more of your station
I didn't like it anyway
Remember the time we wrote our names up on the wall
Remember the time we realized "Thriller" was our favorite song

Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I waited too long
Too see you

How many times I've tried
It's simple to you, so simple to lie
How many times I've tried
Blatant mistakes of your design

Have I waited too long
Have I found that someone
Have I waited too long
Too see you

I've had so many chances
Turn my back and I ran away
I've had so many chances
To see you

Hit Or Miss

In one version of the song there is brief dialogue at the beginning. The lines the person says are from the book The Outsiders, which was adapted into a movie in 1983. The lines from the book lead into a Robert Frost poem called Nothing Gold Can Stay which is the title of the album. (thanks, Billy - Mountaintop, PA)

Steve Klein (guitar) told Kerrang! magazine February 16, 2008: "It's one of the first songs that we ever wrote that was in the direction that we ended up going." Chad Gilbert (guitar) added: "I remember Cyrus (Bolooki, drums) coming to me and playing me the guitar riff. We took that riff and it became a really important song. That was the song that really won kids over. We played it so much that it got a reaction from fans everywhere we played, without it even being on the radio."

Jordan Pundik (vocals) in the same Kerrang! interview: "It's about realizing that you had something good when it's too late."

This was featured in the 2001 movie American Pie 2.
