as promised, i present: “missed connections”
im still quite ill and my voice absolutely died by the second verse so the high notes sound awful, but i didnt want to make you guys wait any longer (im also not looking for criticism so id appreciate noone pointing out any flaws—its still a work in progress. and a reminder my pronouns are they/he/she :) )
i plan to wait until im properly rested and recovered before i send the song to her, but when i do you guys will be the first to know!
lyrics and context below the break
lyrics:
weve had a thousand missed connections but i still made it through to you
in other worlds we met before but no such luck for you—
and i, weve only just had our beginning
but im hoping that our end is years to come
both born part raised in england, both moved up here at just three
go to the same school but ill join six months after you leave
we share friends, but we're never introduced
so our lives two lines remain apart, side by side but never cross
we'll carry on without each other's heart
weve had a thousand missed connections but i still made it through to you
in other worlds we met before but no such luck for you—
and i, weve only just had our beginning
but im hoping that our end is years to come
now weve both moved onto high school but weve still missed one another
you almost joined me in our last years but one thing led to another
and you, you moved away to the big city
while i stayed here all alone
chasing loves who never loved me
not realising that ive yet to meet the one
weve had a thousand missed connections but ive still made it through to you
in other worlds we met before but no such luck for you—
and i, weve only just had our beginning
but im hoping that our end is years to come
i was an arrogant ass
you were loud and bold but hiding
somewhere along the way we changed
and suddenly we're minding—
our own business, when one day we met the one
now im sitting in my bedroom, writing down this song
weve had a thousand missed connections but i still made it through to you
in other worlds we met before but no such luck for you—
and i, weve only just had our beginning
but im hoping that our end is years to come
yeah im hoping that our end is years to come
background:
so, as the song says, throughout our lives weve had a bunch of 'missed connections', where we were a hair's breadth from meeting but just missed each other.
we were both born in england and moved to the same area of scotland at the same age, but i attended a different school at first. by the time i moved to the other school, she had just left six months before.
despite that, we shared a lot of the same friends, moreso as we got older but still a few when we were young. our friends mentioned us in passing to each other but not very often.
in high school, i had to transfer again because the school i went to didnt have the final two yeargroups, and she went through the same thing. it was planned that she and i would attend the same school, but there were some issues between her and a few other students that meant she had to go elsewhere.
now, we've both left school and ended up meeting online. we got talking and realised just how much in common we had (both took drama for only one year, in the same year [so if we'd have gone to the same high school, we wouldve definitely, no doubt about it, interacted through class], both enjoyed the same hobbies, had similar music taste etc) and then realised how many times we almost met.
then i went and had a crush, got overly attached, and wrote a song :)
