This song is most likely about Tyler Levenson’s (Afterlife’s vocalist) relationship with Hailey Mayo, they had a long-distance relationship, and eventually, they seemed to have broken up, deleting all pictures of each other from social media.
[Verse 1]
I've been spending so much time looking at my phone
Waiting for your next call so you can go and let me know
That you made it home safe, I hope I know soon
'Cause things went cold the last time you went and stepped out the room
But never mind that, tell me how your day went
Tell me how your works been, tell me, are you still hell-bent on
Finding all the ways? You can keep your distance
Said I got my last chance and I missed it
We talked about a better life then
Paint the picturе, didn't think about the end
We wеre miles away, but we were closer then ever
And now we share the same room, but we're barely together
We're like strangers, guess the blame goes both ways
One way led to heartbreak
This is how it feels when love fades
I'm counting all the smiles that we faked, that we faked
[Chorus]
If I stayed, would you still go?
If I led, would you follow?
Don't wait until it's too late, don't wait until it's too late
Don't wait until it's too late, no
[Verse 2]
Looking back now, I can see better
If I were to right my wrongs, it wouldn't matter
I can see your checked out, concrete
The person that you want me to be is not me
And how the hell we get like this? You were second to none
I would've put myself in front of the gun
And now the only thing I hold on to
Is all the memories that I can't lose, I can't lose
[Chorus]
If I stayed, would you still go?
If I led, would you follow?
Don't wait until it's too late, don't wait until it's too late
Don't wait until it's too late, no
[Bridge]
I tell myself it's okay, it's alright
Bottle up my feelings like every night
Maybe that's life for me
So tell me how we get like this? You were second to none
I would've put myself in front of the gun
And now the only thing I hold on to
Is everything I thought I had with you, with you
[Chorus]
If I stayed, would you still go?
If I led, would you follow?
Don't wait until it's too late, don't wait until it's too late
Don't wait until it's too late
Don't wait until it's too late, don't wait until it's too late
Don't wait until it's too late, no
