Lyrics When the Sun Sets - JJLee

The hour turns gold
And it's getting late
I can see the sunlight
Shining off the lake
And I can't help but
Think it'll be a perfect day
If I could watch it set with you
There's like a thousand different moments
Where I thought it'd be better
With somebody by my side
Love songs and rom-coms
And the Instagram keeps scrolling on
Telling me that that's the life
And I wonder what that's like
When the guy gets the girl
In the film's third act
When both sides feel the same
And the cats out the bag
And I've tried
You can't say that I've just held back
This whole time
But sometimes it don't work out like that

Used to think that
I had to feel alright
All alone before I ever had the green light
Thinking like that
I'm not sure we'll ever get there
There's a reason I don't wanna be alone
But what if the love
That you been looking for
Has already been here?

When the sunset hits and I want you right here
And when I just don't fit in the crowds out there
Or when I get so sick of these love songs
Only listening and never living it
Remind me
I've never walked alone even though I
Never had a hand to hold in the cold nights
When I see your plan unfold in your own time
I know that I'll know
There's a right time for all things
So right now I

Try not to overthink it
'Cause I've tried to explain it
Been overspeculating
Maybe I just need patience
They say life's what you make it
But I trust the One who made it
The painting He's creating
We just try to replace it
Just 'cause you shoot your shot
Don't mean that it'll work out
Only so much you can control
And figure out
Stick to the ones that you still got
That stuck around
When it's out of my hands
I open them wide face up

Used to think that
I had to feel alright
All alone before I ever had the green light
Thinking like that
I'm not sure we'll ever get there
There's a reason I don't wanna be alone
But what if the love
That you been looking for
Has already been here?

When the sunset hits and I want you right here
And when I just don't fit in the crowds out there
Or when I get so sick of these love songs
Only listening and never living it
(Woah-oh)
I'll never walk alone even though I
Might not have a hand to hold in the cold nights
I'm gon' see your plan unfold in your own time
And I know that I'll know
There's a right time for everything
