Discover the story of the song > No Myth – Michael Penn

The lyrics are about the protagonist's romantic partner wanting to end their relationship and just be friends. The protagonist wonders if he had been someone like Romeo or Heathcliff, maybe she would have stayed. He also wonders if she is just looking for someone to dance with. In the end, the protagonist realizes that some things in life can't be measured and hopes that no one comes looking for him unless they can speak Chinese and dance like Astaire. The lyrics suggest that the protagonist's partner may be searching for something more exciting and passionate.
