clairvoyant

in the smooth sand down by the sea
you all but declare your love for me
you tell me there's an easier way
then you try to illustrate...after,
tellin me I'm not part of your plan
sayin "I'm not the man you think I am"

I never issued an ultimatum
didn't quote the rules verbatim
never told you that I would not wait
never turned my back or walked away
gave you lots of latitude
while you were givin me attitude
tellin me I'm not part of your plan
sayin "I'm not the man you think I am"

how would you know with one quick look
you opened the cover, didn't read the book
you thought me solid, our time was bouyant

you were never that clairvoyant
while on the sand you take my hand
and we waltz off to our own band
you walk away like a nomad
a rerun of all of the stuff you had

you told me I'm not part of your plan
said "I'm not the man you think I am"
but you are wrong, I thought I saw
the reasoning for your hidden flaws
I fell in love before it frayed
but all of that is yesterday

I never issued an ultimatum
didn't quote the rules verbatim
never told you I would not wait
never turned my back in haste
gave you lots of latitude
while you were givin me attitude
tellin me I'm not part of your plan
sayin "I'm not the man you think I am"
