about

The romance that never happened is always the one that tugs on the heart the most. This is a (mostly) true account of a confession I made one summer evening.

lyrics

sunset, seventy degrees
you and me and two weak knees
two weeks till september's on
two days more and then you're gone

the revelers have gone inside
i've something left to confide
it's obvious to everyone
they're expecting us to get it on

laughter sounds the best out loud
hate to disappoint the crowd
but you and i both know the stakes
bruised egos and more heartaches

what i want to do is dare
to simply speak and clear the air
i've know silence many times
and nothing hurts more
nothing hurts more

don't say if only that were this
there were here, then we could kiss
making up for everything
we have missed by covering

loved you for and instant here
now let's keep our distance dear
keep the sunset off our minds
keep the promises that bind

still, we had a splendid time

sunset, sixty-three degrees
one eternal moment seized
thank you for the reveries
