[Verse 1 — relaxed rasp, conversational, guitars moving underneath] Still can’t hear your name Without hearing your voice I’ve made countless mistakes All of which were my choice Can’t fall further back from grace When you kept me poised Remembering all of the afternoons But time came too soon Now I’m a villain And you’re somebody new Wasn’t happily ever after When our energy still sits in my room [Pre-Chorus — drums build, delivery tighter] There was you and I And me and mine Never an us Never a version That we could build When all we did was watch the sand As it fell each day Through the hourglass [Chorus — guitars open up, melodic and emotional] You were right on time I was just too late We had all the love Just never had the space Maybe in another life We don’t hesitate You were right on time I was just too late [Short instrumental break — guitar riff] [Verse 2 — immediate progression, more urgency] I loved you once We were just too young With the right amount of pain You came around again Thought we’d be older We’d be wiser You were sketching homes I was passing by ya You were drawing windows I was looking for doors You wanted something rooted I kept wanting something more Funny how the second chance Still found us out of place [Chorus — stronger] You were right on time I was just too late We had all the love Just never had the space Maybe in another life We don’t hesitate You were right on time I was just too late [Bridge — instruments pull back, vulnerable vocal] I kept saying someday Like someday owed us time You kept leaving pieces I kept calling them mine If I met you now I think I’d know what to do That’s the cruelest part— I had to lose you To become somebody Who could’ve kept you [Final Chorus — full band, emotional but controlled] You were right on time I was just too late We had all the love Just never had the space Maybe in another life We don’t hesitate You were right on time… [Band drops out except guitar] I was just too late. [Outro — quiet, nearly spoken] Two chances. Same love. Wrong life. [Instrumental rings out and abruptly ends]
