Love Comes Late

Verse 1:
Write my name before we part
On the wall inside a chamber of your heart
I can feel it move beneath the fabric
Hear it rumble underneath the static

Chorus:
Love comes late
Love comes late

Verse 2:
Hold me close before you leave
Leave your perfume on my skin so I can't breathe
Hide a key beside the gate when you go
And pray I find the strength to wait 'cause you know

Chorus:
Love comes late
Love comes late
Love comes late

Verse 3:
I can hear them talking outside
With their busy lives
But I don't feel the need to move

The seed you left so far inside is out of sight
I only see it in my tears when I cry at night

Chorus:
'Cause love comes late

Love comes late
(Love comes late to show its face and leave you on the line)
Love comes late
(Love comes late like in due fate when you might have been fine)
Love comes late
(Love comes late to make you cry and feel afraid you're running dry)
Love comes late
(Love comes late to show you pain 'cause you've run out of days)
Love comes late
(Love comes late to bring you shame within your final phase)
Love comes late
(Love comes late though you want more you're noticing the closing door)
Love comes late
(They're tallying your final score, your will is good, your prospects poor)
