Back in 87, I was a pimpled teenage clown
When suddenly my life was completely turned around
When I saw this pretty girl, just walking through the door
She came from far away I was crawling on the floor

CHORUS:
I've gone missing (x3)
I was close to scoring a goal
One day I'm sure she will be mine

In the classroom, she was sitting next to me
I was scared shitless to tell her how I feel
I finally found the courage to ask her out on a date
Damn too late, she already got her mate

CHORUS:
I've gone missing (x2)
I was close to scoring a goal
One day I'm sure she will be mine

The whole school year went by, and I was still too shy
My love was burning strong, but I was still alone
There was a party for her, before she left
Was desperate for love, ended up with her best friend

CHORUS:
I've gone missing (x2)
I was close to scoring a goal
One day I'm sure she will be mine

I haven't heard of her ever since we met
'Till I saw her face on the web
Divorced, living very far
Because of her I'm married to my steel guitar

CHORUS:
I've gone missing, (x3)
I was close to scoring a goal
One day I'm sure she will be mine

I've gone missing,
I’ve really gone missing
I was close to scoring a goal
One day before I die
She will be mine
