Little Too Late

Do you believe in fate?
Do you think there's a place
Where we find another person who makes life seem alright
It's an ancient belief
A romantic deceit
I think it's foolish to try

'Cause I could walk the whole beach
Leave the silence to speak
I could leave the other side of my bed open for years
I could go it alone
I would piss and I'd moan
But soulmates wouldn't appear

And I think it's just a little played out (ooh, it's so played out)
Never wanna sit on my hands like I'm waiting for you
I think it's just a little played out (ooh, it's so played out)
'Cause helplessness is nothing new

Have you ever heard the sound of a lover who lost?
It's like the din of a quiet parade
Have you ever seen the ghost of a soulmate forgone?
They're casting shadows where there's already shade
'Cause they're a little too late for love
'Cause they're a little too late for love

Who is buying this shit?
Let your ego get hit
There's a hundred other ways to disempower your life
Than driving yourself insane
Over someone with no name
You think will show up sometime

And all the best stories suck
You may think there's a rut
I think the beauty always lies beneath the daily mundane
And if this thought keeps you sane
It's worth repeating again
Love is a choice that you make

And I think it's just a little played out (ooh, it's so played out)
If I were to sit on my hands like I'm waiting for you
I think it's just a little played out (ooh, it's so played out)
'Cause helplessness is nothing new

Have you ever heard the sound of a lover who lost?
It's like the din of a quiet parade
Have you ever seen the ghost of a soulmate forgone?
They're casting shadows where there's already shade
'Cause they're a little too late for love
'Cause they're a little too late for love
