Heard from a friend
You're settling down
Back in the midwest
Outside of your hometown
Been a few years
Why does this hurt like hell
It's throwing me off
Thinking how hard we fell
We had a good run but
I'm just the one before the one
We had our plans laid out
Oh but our timing didn't come
You stepped out of the sea
I'm floating in the ocean
We had a good run but
I'm just the one before the one.
In a parallel life
Maybe you and I
Woulda worked out
But it's a mute point, right
That it could've been us by now
And I don't mean
To come right out of far left field
So I'll type out this draft
Send it to trash and
Forget the way I feel
We had a good run but
I'm just the one before the one
We had our plans laid out
Oh but our timing didn't come
You stepped out of the sea
I'm floating in the ocean
We had a good run but
I'm just the one before the one
If I could I'd say I'm thankful
That we gave it our best try
If I could I'd say I'm grateful
You were part of my life for a time
If I could I'd be more honest
If I could I'd be more kind
But I wish for you all the happiness
That you brought to my life
We had a good run but
I'm just the one before the one
We had our plans laid out
Oh but our timing didn't come
You stepped out of the sea
I'm floating in the ocean
We had a good run
We had a good run
We had a good run but
I'm just the one before the one
We had our plans laid out
Oh but our timing didn't come
You stepped out of the sea
I'm floating in the ocean
We had a good run but
I'm just the one before the one
