You pretend like you're alright
In somebody else's life
Hiding in the chaos and disarray

Someday you'll put up a fight
Someday soon you'll make it right
Someday is drifting far away

Keep on saying it in your mind
Keep your head up you'll be fine
"Narrow is the path but wide the gates"

But if you shrink and try to hide
Fading away by your design
You'll never know anyone anyway

I meant to call you, by the way
A miss is as good as a mile
I think you've got the hang of it
You've been at it a while
A miss is as good as a mile
I'm sure you'll make the best of it
Said with a crooked smile

You pretend like you're alright

A miss is as good as a mile
