Two Outta Three

There was a hummingbird just outside the glass that separated us from the rain

He looked in for just a moment, and then flew away

I couldn't help thinking how simple his life must be

We sat quietly in the warm swirling bubbles

I don't think I could have loved her more than at that very moment

There was this little bead of water that was making its way down her long, silky, wet hair

And I said to myself, "If I can count to ten before it drops, she'll love me forever"

I barеly got to seven beforе it fell like a rock

And ran slowly down over her bare shoulders

And disappeared into the bubbles again

Two outta three

I must have been looking at her for a long time before I realized she was looking back

And that day in the rain was a million memories ago

The cafe was getting noisier, and the coffee was getting colder

And finally, she began to explain why it was over

I couldn't believe it was actually happening

I was watching her talk, but I couldn't hear the words

I was dying inside, and she never looked more beautiful

Even after she was gone, I could still smell her perfume

I always would

Another time, another place

Was it love and not a waste?

I didn't know then, it wasn't to be

You should've gone

(Two) two outta three

I got up to leave and stepped out into the rain

Stuck my hand in my coat pocket, and

Pulled out the rose I had meant to give her

The wilted petals fell to the ground

I counted 'em out

Still trying to beat the odds

She loves me

She loves me not

Two outta three

Another time, another place

Was it love and not a waste?

I didn't know then, it wasn't to be

You should've gone

(Two) two outta three

Two outta three
