Perfect Afternoon
on a perfect afternoon
thinking you would be there soon
by the evening time,
it was obvious you were no longer mine
you should have written,
you might have called
you should have never led me on at all
but you were always a few days ahead of me,
and there was always someone else instead of me
instead of me
sitting perfectly still,
barely fighting off the chill
feeling cold feeling dumb
it was becoming clear that you wouldn't come
you should have written,
you might have called
you should have never made this plan at all
but you were always a few days ahead of me
and there was always someone else instead of me
instead of me
Tarde Perfecta
en una tarde perfecta
pensando que estarías pronto aquí
para la hora de la noche,
era obvio que ya no eras mía
debiste haber escrito,
tal vez haber llamado
debiste nunca haberme ilusionado en absoluto
pero siempre estabas unos días adelante de mí,
y siempre había alguien más en lugar de mí
en lugar de mí
sentado perfectamente quieto,
apenas luchando contra el frío
sintiéndome frío, sintiéndome tonto
estaba volviéndose claro que no vendrías
debiste haber escrito,
tal vez haber llamado
debiste nunca haber hecho este plan en absoluto
pero siempre estabas unos días adelante de mí
y siempre había alguien más en lugar de mí
en lugar de mí
