[Verse 1] I kept a spare key for every almost, left my name in rooms I won't go back to. Said “forever” like a coat I could lend, then watched the seams come loose again. [Pre-Chorus] Now the door clicks shut from the outside, and your light lands just beyond my reach. [Chorus] I found you too late, too late, with my hands full of promises I can't unmake. You were the life I was meant to choose, now I'm boxed in, watching you move. I found you too late, too late— right love, wrong hour, locked gate. [Verse 2] I gave away the parts I meant to save, made a home in every passing wave. You say my name; the walls say nothing back, while the road you wanted fades to black. [Pre-Chorus] There you go, with the whole sky open; here I am, still holding every key. [Chorus] I found you too late, too late, with my hands full of promises I can't unmake. You were the life I was meant to choose, now I'm boxed in, watching you move. I found you too late, too late— right love, wrong hour, locked gate. [Bridge] If I could empty out this crowded room, would there be enough of me for you? The latch won't turn. The street keeps going. I know the way. I just can't go. [Final Chorus] I found you too late, too late, with my hands full of promises I can't unmake. You were the life I was meant to choose, now I'm boxed in, watching you move. I found you too late, too late— right love, wrong hour, locked gate. [Outro] Your taillights cross the ceiling. I count them till the room goes blue.
