Hit Nothing

Lyrics
You wanted a hit, we hit nothing

You wanted a hit, we hit nothing

As far as I can see, I can see that's far enough
The speaker sees things to a considerable extent and believes it's far enough.
You're the tough one now, I thought that I was

I tripped the lines that I tried to cross

And dropped from my hands what I tried to toss

Is it vacant now, does it smile at you too?
