lyrics

I left your place at two

Mascara on my cuff

My boots hit Queen in slush

Your voice still felt like dust

A receipt in my coat

From fries and a dented can

I held it in my fist

Till my fingers split from cold

I crossed under the bridge

Past a bus stop bench

My phone said low battery

And I kept that screen bent

The corner store was closed

A card sat in the snow

I watched my own breath fade

Then I let your message go

Too late, too late, too late, too late

Too late, too late, too late, too late

I keep that one word

When I walk back hurt

Too late, too late, too late, too late

At Bloor and Bathurst, rain

Hit hard on my black sleeve

A taxi cut the curb

I stepped back, let it leave

My keys dug in my palm

My lips were cracked and sore

I heard a train go by

And I didn’t call you anymore

Too late, too late, too late, too late

Too late, too late, too late, too late

I keep that one word

When I walk back hurt

Too late, too late, too late, too late

Now the hallway smells like bleach

My coat hangs by the sink

I scrub the sink with soap

But I still see that drink

Your name stays on my tongue

Like smoke in a paper cup

I swallowed all that night

And I still can’t throw it up

Too late, too late, too late, too late

Too late, too late, too late, too late

I keep that one word

When I walk back hurt

Too late, too late, too late, too late
