A Day Late Lyrics
So let me get this straight
You say now you loved me all along?
What makes you hesitate
To tell me in words what you really feel?
I can see it in your eyes
You mean all of what you say
I remember so along 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 and tell
We are who we were when
Could have 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 have 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 now 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 have 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 have 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 no where 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
You say now you loved me all along?
What makes you hesitate
To tell me in words what you really feel?
You mean all of what you say
I remember so along ago, see I felt that same way
Now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
Insignificantly enough we both have significant others
Time will turn and tell
Could have 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 have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
I don't know who you are anymore
Loves come and go now 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
Could have 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 have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
All these years and you were no where to be found
And now you want me for your own
But you're a day late and my love, she's still renowned
Could've been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Could've been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when

i really dont think this song means that he was like "oh welll she had her chance" i think he still did love her but by the time they both realized they wanted to be together it was too late. They could have used to been lovers but now things are different. theyre different. but only time can tell what will happen. for now they will be good friends.
To me, this sounds like a guy and a girl secretly loved each other in the past but they never admitted it. The guy got over it, and both of them found new loves and moved on. Now, however, the girl is back in the guy's life, and he's remembering what he really liked about her in the past, but he knows it's too late for them to be together, although she doesn't want to accept that. She's his "day late friend" because they can't be together.
no...just because they're a christian band doesn't mean all their songs are about christianity...i'm a christian, but it's not like everything in my life is an allegory about my religion.
a couple corrections:
say now you loved me all alongnotall aloneinsignificantly enough we both have significant otherssorry, i have no idea what he's saying at the end of the bridge.
its not: couldve been lovers but atleast youre still my daily friend??
(??) = But you're a day late and my love just still renown?
Take a shot at those lyrics. Can't wait to buy this CD...
love's* (need to add that 'edit comment' feature in...)
I believe as well that it's "You're still my daily friend." To explain the title of the song, "..Now you want me for your own / But you're a day late.."
It's Day Late Friend... The Track Used to Be Named Day Late Friend... then they changed it... I used to have the lyrics as daily weeks ago... changed them. thanx for the help
just because the track title changed doesn't mean the lyrics are different than what you originally heard :o
