Then Again, Maybe You Were Right

• La Dispute
• Somewhere at the Bottom of the River Between Vega and Altair

I spoke too soon, it seems

For you made a home in my dreams while I slept

You kept running yourself through my head

Like, I won’t be dead

Yet, I said, “You don’t understand

We had no control, they stole it

Love’s been so unfair to me”

“But see, boy, that’s my point

You must move on”

Then felt her ghost move in me

I heard her voice call out my name but

This time it faded out, away

I’ll bury it today, today

So I breathed her name out into a cold, cold room

Watched her ghost ascend the walls, and then dissolve

This time I choose to let it go

This time I choose to let her go

I will not let my fear become

The only world I’ve ever known

I know my heart, come kiss my mouth

And set me free, I’ve wounds to mend

And we’ll be more than friends, my dear

I fear I’ve changed my mind again

But, boy, you’re too late

But, boy, you’re too late

My love, you’re too late

Oh, God, it’s too late

Too late

Too late
