Lyrics
Ships passing in the nighttime
Reference to missed opportunities or connections symbolized by ships passing in the nighttime.
I miss laughing in the club lines
Nostalgia for joyous moments experienced in club settings.
You're always landing on a late flight
Someone consistently arriving on late flights, possibly indicating a distant or elusive presence.
But you brought green to the red eye
Bringing green (money) to the red-eye flight, suggesting a financial investment in the relationship.
And if you'd have put all hands in
An invitation for commitment or support, possibly not received when needed.
At the time I needed
Expressing a desire for understanding through collective effort.
Maybe I would understand you
A reflection on the potential for better comprehension if support was provided.
Baby, more than I did
Regret for not understanding the partner more deeply in the past.
I know I can be Pandora
Comparing oneself to Pandora, known for opening a box of troubles, possibly acknowledging a role in relationship challenges.
And I box off that shit
Deciding to compartmentalize or close off negative aspects of the relationship.
Maybe we were good together
Reflecting on the possibility that the relationship was once good.
You're the key to open it
Seeing the partner as the key to resolving issues.
But I'm too late now (tell me now, ooh)
Expressing a sense of being too late to salvage the relationship.
Too late now (I'm too late, too late)
Reiteration of feeling too late to make amends.
But I'm too late now (tell me now, ooh)
Revisiting the theme of being too late and seeking answers.
Too late now
Reaffirming the sense of missed opportunities and regret.
When I recall a full moon (pink matter)
Recalling moments associated with a full moon, possibly symbolizing emotional intensity.
I can see the dark side too (I thought I mattered)
Acknowledging the dark side of the relationship, realizing its importance.
She'll only get a partial view (it hurts me too)
Recognizing that only a partial view of the truth is evident.
Wait until the tide comes through (you'll turn around and say that I missed you)
Anticipating a change in circumstances, possibly a turning point in the relationship.
And if you'd have put all hands in
Reiterating the need for collective effort and support.
At the time I needed
Stressing the importance of timely support.
Maybe I would understand you
Reflecting on improved understanding if support was provided when needed.
Baby, more than I did
Regret for not comprehending the partner more fully in the past.
I know I can be Pandora
Repeating the comparison to Pandora, acknowledging a role in relationship challenges.
And I box off that shit
Reaffirming the decision to close off negative aspects of the relationship.
Maybe we were good together
Reflecting on the potential goodness of the past relationship.
You're the key to open it
Emphasizing the partner's role as the key to resolving issues.
But I'm too late now
Reiterating a sense of being too late to salvage the relationship.
Too late now (I'm too late, too late)
Reiteration of feeling too late to make amends.
But I'm too late now (tell me now, ooh)
Revisiting the theme of being too late and seeking answers.
Too late now (I'm too late, too late)
Reaffirming the sense of missed opportunities and regret.
But I'm too late now

Too late now (I thought I mattered)

(I'm too late, too late)
Final affirmation of feeling too late and expressing regret.
