Rain in November

The rain always sounds peaceful

Out in the country, where you live

Small towns all look the same

But you added a certian something to that place

The house where you no longer live



I am sorry if I sound boring

Uninviting, or annoying

I could never find the words to say to you

And then you're never around here when I do

I'd like to see that smile that's on your face

It makes me feel so not out of place



Thinking back on past year's mistakes

All the shit I used to do

I'd stay at home here just to call you

And I'd laughed when you never did the same

And I'm to blame



Thinking back to one particular day

It was November and softly raining hard

We called it off a month or two ago

I got lonely and you hated me that day

I drove away



Shut the door and I walked to your steps

9:30 pm and you didn't know that it was me

An hour drive is all it took for me

I gave you flowers you gave me tears

We remonesed from all the years

They'd passed us on by, we sat and cried



After what seemed like hours of deliberation

You went to bed and told me we were friends

I figured it was at least some way to re-begin



Then on the way home, I almost died

That lightening must not have been meant for me

It's been years and still I don't feel free

I barely feel alive, you're not by my side



2 or 3 years later, I can't remember

It's all a blur to me

You found a few lovers but they all came crashing down

I am still around...



I guess you could take this song as

One last chance for you to be with me

I might slowly fade away

Become famous with this band I'm in...you never know



Maybe I could make it on my own

But then again I don't want you to be alone

I've still got scars from tears from all the years

Can't we mend them all and finally start anew?



Thats what I really want to do...

Yea, It's true

That's what we'll do
