Perfect Afternoon Lyrics - The Softies

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
