Magnificent

Yesterday I felt so
Beautiful and hopeful
Like I?d left it all behind

But this morning then I saw my
Wheels spinning nowhere
Your memory in my mind

There was a time when I did
Something we all do
I fell in love with you

But when I finally came to
I saw that it was all true
Except the part where you fall in love with me
Yeah, the part where you fall in love

And you stood there with your closed lips
And you whispered words that I couldn?t hear
While the traffic rushing past us
Well, it spoke to me magicently clearly

Instead of saying nothing
Why don?t you say something
Spill it all this time

I though of simply coming
Swift as I could, running
Bringing something kind

But now I still hear the sad songs
Sitting in the night air
In my car when I get home

I have to sit and listen
One moment reminiscing
When I was not ever this alone
No I was not this alone

I thought at work forever
Of the new guy I remembered
Meeting just yesterday
And his reflection in this place
Well it could?a been your face
In my plate glass yesterday

But you stood there with your closed lips
And you whispered words that I couldn?t hear
While the traffic rushing past us
Well, it spoke to me magnificently clearly
So magnificently clear
