Classic love story true to his western tx roots. One of my favorites as a story, but I think there are alot of songs that are amazing not even listed on this site. I guess I should figure out how to add them, because I have about 8 REK cd's.
Here's another day she waits and pulls herself away
At just the right moment to save her face
I watch the time go ticking down, the water falling on the ground
I catch myself and try to speak with grace
You needed just enough anger to get you through the door
And you got just enough honesty to make you want a little more
I wish for nothing but the rain
To fall and wash away
Everything that I've done wrong
Find a way to make you strong
If only for another day
When I'm all alone, just me and my ghosts
Standing three deep, just like sentries at their post
And they make sure I remember just a little more than most
They make sure that I understand the consequence of past
You needed just enough anger to get you through the door
And you got just enough honesty to make you want a little more
I wish for nothing but the rain
To fall and wash away
Everything that I've done wrong
Find a way to make you strong
If only for another day
When you see me chasing daydreams and you know that I'm not there,
I'm not the one who sits across from you, who, returns your stare
And I watch as you grow quiet like you always did
And I wait to get what I deserve
It's the part that doesn't die that makes it hurt...
Here's another day, she waits and pulls herself away
At just the right moment to save her face
I watch the time go ticking down, the water falling on the ground
I catch myself and try to speak with grace
I wish for nothing but the rain
To fall and wash away
Everything that I've done wrong
Find a way to make you strong
If only for another day
If only for another day
At just the right moment to save her face
I watch the time go ticking down, the water falling on the ground
I catch myself and try to speak with grace
You needed just enough anger to get you through the door
And you got just enough honesty to make you want a little more
I wish for nothing but the rain
To fall and wash away
Everything that I've done wrong
Find a way to make you strong
If only for another day
When I'm all alone, just me and my ghosts
Standing three deep, just like sentries at their post
And they make sure I remember just a little more than most
They make sure that I understand the consequence of past
You needed just enough anger to get you through the door
And you got just enough honesty to make you want a little more
I wish for nothing but the rain
To fall and wash away
Everything that I've done wrong
Find a way to make you strong
If only for another day
When you see me chasing daydreams and you know that I'm not there,
I'm not the one who sits across from you, who, returns your stare
And I watch as you grow quiet like you always did
And I wait to get what I deserve

Here's another day, she waits and pulls herself away
At just the right moment to save her face
I watch the time go ticking down, the water falling on the ground
I catch myself and try to speak with grace
I wish for nothing but the rain
To fall and wash away
Everything that I've done wrong
Find a way to make you strong
If only for another day
If only for another day

This song is def a twin to "Unfair" (a song she has been quoted as saying is about falling in love with someone who is already in a relationship) so it is presumably about the same person. Given the references to buying an apartment and not being able to see her love interest "after tonight," it's most likely that she's moving away and she'll "wait a day to break the bad news" (i.e. notifying him that she's leaving once she's already gone).
And, of course, the fact that she sees in him a fellow "idealist" and "dreamer" (terms commonly given to people with the INFP personality on the Myers–Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)) portends that she'll always be left wondering if they would've been perfect together.

Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve.
The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future.
Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere"
The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”
it sounds as though he treated a girl he liked. or loved. like crap. and he knew it. now he feels bad for everything he did to her. [I wish for nothing but the rain to fall and wash away everything that I've done wrong find a way to make you strong.] but is glad that she was able to finally leave him [You needed just enough anger to get you through the door.] because it was for the better.
