lyrics

I was watching the snowplows, those lonely blinking lights.
They sailed on the open road like tiny satellites.
It made me feel the darkness, it made me really see
the distance that lies between your checkered heart and me.

Chorus:
And you said “take it slow,” but I just don’t know how long I’ll be able to wait.
And you said love would flow, but Romeo knows there’s a point,
a point where it’s just too late.

It was Thursday and counting the last night since we spoke,
and I needed to see myself in the mirror behind your smoke.
So I scrolled down to your name, and I almost hit send,
‘cause I knew from the very start just how this would end.

Chorus

The last thing I wanted was to write these words about you.
The last thing I wanted to be was a stage that you just went through.

Chorus

I want to love you, but it’s getting late.
