Song Description

This is a track about missed opportunities, a 'sister song' to Sight Unseen, which I will put out further in the year. Often the phrase 'can't see the wood for the trees' is uttered, and if your vision is tunneled to the extent you cannot see who or what

Lyrics

Why I couldn't see it
Remains a mystery to me
Your light shone very brightly
Incandescent next to me
It was inconceivable
This moment passed me by
I still think of this very day
And still I wonder why

Opportunities knock once
Maybe twice I didn't see
The life I could, have had with you

And still to this day, I while away
My mind is in full flight
Thinking if I could
Or if I would
Make it work out right
In my head I play the scene
Perfected over time
Regrets amassed
Now the time has passed
Hiding In Plain Sight

I see you from a distance
Your life is all in place
I will always remember
The look upon your face
They say each time a butterfly
Flutters it's fragile wings
How easy it can influence
The way and shape of things

I can reminisce all day
Why it had to be this way
I didn't take the chance when I could

Perhaps it worked out for the best
At least maybe for you
You seem happy, at peace with life
There's nothing left to do.

There is a reason for everything
It really wasn't meant for me
But was it really meant for you
