Too Late
Common Shiner
Has it been a week or a day
Since last I saw you
The months have blended together
Stumbling through this afternoon
Dreaming so carelessly
Daydreams turn into fantasies
Fantasies turn into memories
So thick I could drink, and I feel like I'm drunk
So was it wrong to start thinking about you this time?
It's been three years and running since I had a mind
To remember us, oh ain't that just great
I guess I fell in love with you way too late
This city is booming
Yet I never felt so alone
What if I had kissed you?
What if I had driven you home?
What if I had said all the things
That my doubtful stupid misdirection
Lost in all my good intentions
I know you loved me yet
I'm still here waiting
So was it wrong to start thinking about you this time?
It's been three years and running since I had a mind
To remember us, oh ain't that just great
I guess I fell in love with you way too late
That day you appeared you were as beautiful as you were before
And I was the same, so content yet always wanting more
Pretending I had had life pegged down to where I did everything right
Regretting everything I did wrong that night
I suppose I've hit the nail on the head, and the nail through the wrist
Like the hole in the wall in the shape of my fist
Oh to have died with the cross in mind
That perfect resolve I can never find
Waiting for peace to finally come
For my chance to say "It is done."
You said you'd call
I sat there all night
Stared at the wall
Played games with my eyes
Fell asleep somewhere
I guess I'll always be waiting
So was it wrong to start thinking about you this time?
It's been three years and running since I had a mind
To remember us, oh ain't that just great
I guess I fell in love with you way too late
