I’m sorry for the way it’s gone.
It might be too late,
It might be over and done.
My words have not moved you, maybe if they’re sung.
Maybe I’m late ‘cause I had so far to come.

I was swimming in a bright blue sea
that was your eyes when you looked at me.
Then I watched the clouds roll over, over the sun,
Maybe I’m late ‘cause I had so far to come.

There are invisible, invisible things
before your first thought.
They’re your weights and your wings.
At worst, I’m stumbling over, at best I rise above.
Maybe I’m late ‘cause I had so far to come.

I’m sorry for the way it’s gone
It might be too late
to say I’m sorry
It might be too late
Maybe I’m late ‘cause I had so far to come.
