Moment Too Late

Wandering an endless garden

Time's passed since I thought of you often

As we walk out in the open

All I see is wasted time

Would you be mine I take it back

Try to be the one you want to

Growing silent as we argue

How many threads are left to undo

And I know you've got one

Locked in the chamber

Weighted and black

I know when you look at me

All you see is past

Every time I'm moving forward

You're looking back

Just when I need you'll be a moment too late

Getting caught up in the meaning

Losing track of what I'm seeing

Even on the lips I'm reading

Smoke fills the room and it surrounds my fist

Hits glass into flame

If I let my lip split open

Would you see it as an omen

Or is it my lack of emotion

That keeps me from unloading all that I'm one to bury inside?

I try to feel it out

As you fade in and out

Don't want to talk about

What's staring me down

I know when you look at me

All you see is past

Every time I'm moving forward

You're looking back

Just when I need you'll be a moment too late

You'll be a moment too late
