Nobody else knows me like you do.
And I know nobody quite like you.
When I needed love, and you were afraid,
I swallowed my feelings, and stayed.

You decided to be the best friend
And I tried my hardest to make feelings end.
But sitting in your firebird, as the rain sprinkled down,
I talked about how love is fake, you didn't make a sound.

You let me pour out my soul, as I cried right beside you.
You looked me in my eyes and said, "That might be true.
But I'm sure it's not. Every time you look at me, I see,
What love is supposed to be."

We pull up in my drive way, at a quarter until four.
Just as you opened the door, the rain began to pour.
I remembered your gift and ran inside so I could give it to you.
You opened the wrapper and smiled at me and replied, "Of course you knew."

The rain began to simmer down, and you took off your sweater,
You hugged me, and I smelt your scent, I think I like this weather.
You never paint, but for me you did, and you take my breath away.
I don't know what I can possibly do to make you decide to say,

"Don't be afraid to love, because your heart is safe with me,
I'll be your knight, and you will be my lady of my dreams.
He didn't deserve you and he let you go, I can't believe he's so dumb,
But it's okay because we both have known all along that I am the one."

Maybe I'm just overreacting, and maybe that's okay.
But in the rain, on a friday,
