05. A Day Late

Never Take Friendship Personal
by Anberlin



 

So let me get this straight
You say now you loved me all along
What made you hesitate
To tell me with words what you really feel
I can see it in your eyes you mean all of what you say
I remember so long ago, see I felt that same way
Now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
Insignificantly enough we both have significant others

Only time will tell
Time will turn until

We are who we were when
Could’ve been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could’ve been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were when

But thoughts they change and times they rearrange I don’t know who you are anymore
Loves come and go and this I know I’m not who you recall anymore
But I must confess you’re so much more then I remember
Can’t help but entertain these thoughts
Thoughts of us together

We are who we were when
Could’ve been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could’ve been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were when

My day late friend

So let me get this straight
All these years and you were nowhere to be found
And now you want me for your own
But you’re a day late and my love, she’s still renowned

We are who we were when
Could’ve been lovers but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could’ve been more but at least you’re still my day late friend
We are who
We are who we were when

Behind the Song:
'I had a thing for someone in high school, she came back into my life years later when i was already with someone else. realized that although i could most likely follow my high school heart, i would rather stay in a committed relationship.' - Stephen Christian
