Sunset in the Rain

A song about that person that seems like they might be perfect for you, but fate just seems to keep you apart.

I was always one step off Your break-neck pace Trying to grab the baton, But it couldn’t find its place. Just a step too late, We were too close to see A situation  Meant to be. Maybe you saw what I didn’t And tried to overcompensate Just because I didn’t see we could be great. You were everything Perfection I couldn’t claim. Late at night, I cry as I whisper your name. I sit up wondering what might have been Until I go insane Thinking about that brilliant sunset That I saw through the rain. We were the sweet and juicy apple That sat until it lost its crunch Like the drinks left out Of my picnic lunch. I would pass you in the hallway You’d smile every time But still nothing would show me You wanted to be mine. I told my self over and over I didn’t think of you that way But I sure think about you now You haunt me each and every day. You were everything Perfection I couldn’t claim. Late at night, I cry as I whisper your name. I sit up wondering what might have been Until I go insane Thinking about that brilliant sunset That I saw through the rain. But then I waited too long The walls around my heart Were just too damn strong. You finally moved on To one who was standing by I couldn’t find my wings And you were ready to fly  You are everything Perfection I can’t claim. Late at night, I cry as I whisper your name. I sit up wondering what might have been Until I go insane You are the brilliant sunset And I only bring the rain.
