Day Late Friend

I hear that old song
that reminds me of you
and takes me away from the present
into a haven of true feelings
like love without heartbreak
and how I always have this inside my heart for you
and through everything that's happened
all the culmination of my emotions

I know you'll always be my day late friend

though from time to time
I still like to imagine what could've been
nothing is set in stone

but I still know you'll always be my day late friend

all the past lovers that still linger
doors that haven't been closed
the searching of a key
rusted in the rain in the middle of a thorn bush
all I've been through lately
fades away as if just a phase

I escape to this of the past suddenly freeing
and I feel something in my heart cry
I truly love you and I don't understand how
to express that I know we'll always be
just day late friends

You bring me back to a place full of lush green grass and the sunrise
the fresh air I breathe in
and I cry because I know no matter what this is all you see
every time you find my life in a mess
you look into my eyes as I cry
and see who I truly am
no matter what I gave away to who didn't deserve
no matter the clouds of confusion flying over my head

I still find you at that place
you look me in the eyes and see something no one else
like knowing the meaning of my name
and everytime I think of you and everytime you think of me
I always knew I heard you calling me
it blew my mind away

and I know in my heart this is the only true love I know
but I know we'll always be just day late friends
but sometimes I still like to imagine if I said yes that day
