Signs

Lyrics

I met you on a brilliant dusk
With so many hues, I thought the sky would bust.
Oh, how you stared at me until the dawn.
All the signs were there, you just read them wrong.
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

The clouds made shapes as the stars would shoot.
On those weeks when fate just seemed to set the mood.
All our days were shared, and our nights were long.
All the signs were there, you just read them wrong.
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

The words that you poured out of your love for me
Fell to the floor the night you set them free
'Cause I was not prepared to feel like I belonged.
All the signs were there, you just read them wrong.
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

Then I sat down-trodden by myself again
And I started sobbin for what would have been.
“Damn, I knew I cared for you all along…
All the signs were there, I just read them wrong.”
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

I done me in again. All the blame is mine.
I won’t deny, it felt right inside. But I guess all my doubt just hollowed out my means to read the signs.

You came back to town one afternoon.
And I sat you down to talk of love with you.
My soul was beared, but yours was gone.
All the signs were there, I just read them wrong.
Da da da da da da da da da da da da

Is it timing? Only God could know
What keeps me pining for what I let go.
We were a star-crossed pair til I wrote this song
About the signs that were there, but I read them wrong.
Da da da da da da da da da da da da
I read them, I read them wrong.
