Sometimes You Hit Sometimes You Miss
Girl Thing Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't know what you wanna do
I'm not sure if it's me or you
All I know, mylove
I really thought you were the one
I wouldn't wanna die so fast
If it was meant to fast
If this was meant to be
Chorus:
Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss
I wanna know how life is, oh baby
Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss
So I am saying goodbye with a kiss
Verse 2:
When I laugh I think of you
When I cry I remember you
And I rush inside
I tried to hold on, somehow I died
There's no need to regret
Or wish that we never met
I wouldn't have to break free
If this was meant to be
Sometimes you hit, oh baby
Sometimes you hit,
Chorus
B - Chorus:
Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss
I guess that just how my life is
Sometimes you hit, sometimes you miss
So I'm saying goodbye with a kiss
Chrous to fade
The Girl Thing's song, "Sometimes You Hit Sometimes You Miss" portrays the complexity of love and relationships. The lyrics reveal the dilemma of not knowing what to do and the confusion of whether to stay or to leave. The singer states that she thought her partner was "the one," but she now questions her decision due to the uncertainty of their situation. The lines "I'm not sure if it's me or you" depict the confusion and the possibility of the relationship not being compatible.
The verse "I wouldn't have to break free if this was meant to be" shows the reality of love - sometimes what we thought was meant to be, doesn't work out the way we anticipated, and we need to move on. In the second verse, the memory of the relationship still lingers, causing the singer to feel both happy and sad. She expresses that she tried to hold on to the relationship, but it ended up causing her to feel like she died inside. The lines "There's no need to regret or wish that we never met" show that she is aware that regret will not change the outcome and that it's better to accept what has happened and move on.
In summary, the song is about the ups and downs of love and relationships, and how sometimes we have to let go of what we thought was meant to be for our own mental wellbeing, even if it hurts.
