Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it made me miss my flight
My flight!
And they aren't gonna have another one
Till tomorrow night!
That's right!
Oh no!
And the door slam shut just before I can get in!
I missed it!
Because I missed it!
Because I missed it!
Because I missed it!
Because I missed it!
Because I missed it! (Born too late!)
Because I missed it! (Born too late!)
Because I missed it! (Born too late!)
Because I missed it!
I was born too late so I never got to see Jimmy Hendrix!
He's dead!
I was born too late so I never got to meet Sid Vicious!
He's dead!
I was born too late so I never got to see Ziggy Sardust!
Oh no!
I was born too late so I never got to see T-Rex!
I missed it!
Because I missed it!
Because I missed it!
Because I missed it!
Because I missed it!
Because I missed it! (Born too late!)
Because I missed it! (Born too late!)
Because I missed it! (Born too late!)
Because I missed it!
I missed a ride
I missed a plane
I missed a light
I missed a train
Missed my sister
Missed my period
Missed my mother
Missed my father
Missed my boyfriend
Missed my girlfriend
I missed my missed my period!
Because I missed it missed it!
Because I missed it missed it!
Missed it!
Missed it!
Missed it!
Missed it!
Missed it!
Missed it!
Missed it!
Born too late!
Born too late!
The song "Missed It" by the Lunachicks is a lament about missed chances and opportunities.

The lyrics suggest a feeling of helplessness and a sense that life is passing the singer by. She seems to be plagued by bad luck and circumstances beyond her control.
