One Before The One Lyrics

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
