Two Years Too Late

from Reckless Serenade by Reckless Serenade

lyrics

Chorus: I wonder if I saw her, would she still have sparks in her eyes
And I wonder if she remembers that day we talked until it was night

Verse 1: There's a silence in the room that I'm too used to
And there are thoughts I can't escape, even though I'd love to

It's just another sleepless night,
these pointless questions that arrive about two years too late
Too painful to think through
Crooked pictures line the hall
These dusty faces I can't recall
But yours is clearer than the day I met you

Chorus: And I wonder if I saw her, would she still have sparks in her eyes
And I wonder if she remembers that day we talked until it was night

Verse 2: So I pour a few drinks, just to get through the night
to dilute all the thoughts and pretend that I am fine

(I'm over, I'm over, I'm over it)

It does nothing to mend,
it just dims the lights and adds to this growing fire inside

(I'm over, I'm over, I'm over it)

We were young and stupid, but we were happy
And now I'm drunk and broke and way too lonely

(I'm over, I'm over, I'm over it)

Chorus: And I wonder if I saw her, would she still have sparks in her eyes
And I wonder if she remembers that day we talked until it was night

Bridge: Wishing you were here

There was a time I thought we'd live forever,
but now I'm not certain, no now I'm not so certain
There was a time I thought we'd live forever,
but now I'm so certain, now we dropped the curtains down

Chorus: And I wonder if I saw her, would she still have sparks in her eyes
And I wonder if she remembers that day we talked until it was night
