Lyrics
Sunrise, sunset
Suggesting the beginning and end of a relationship or a phase.
Thought I found love on the day that we met
Initial belief in finding love when they first met.
Sunrise, sunset
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of relationships.
Then came the storm that you had in your head
Reference to emotional turmoil within the partner.
It's been a little too long
Expressing that too much time has passed.
Little too late
Highlighting a delayed realization or response.
You needed time said to give you your space
Partner asking for space and time.
A little too long
Emphasizing a prolonged waiting period.
Little too late
Continuation of waiting for the partner's change.
You thought that nothing would change
False assumption that nothing will change.
But it's too long
Stating the duration is too long.
And it's too late
Emphasizing that it's now too late for change.
Yeah it's too long
Repeating the idea that waiting was excessive.
But I guess I'm the price that you pay
Acceptance of being the consequence of the partner's actions.
New me, new day
Indicating personal growth and a new beginning.
Tides of the past washing your face away
Symbolic cleansing of the past's impact.
Sunrise, sunset
Reiterating the cyclical nature with a positive outlook.
Livin' my life and I have no regrets
Living without regrets after a period of reflection.
I'ts been a little too long
Acknowledging the passage of time.
Seasons have changed
Noticing changes in the seasons, possibly reflecting personal growth.
You wash ashore at my feet now in shame
Partner appearing remorseful and humbled.
Was a little too long
Expressing impatience due to prolonged waiting.
Makin' me wait
Describing mistreatment as waiting too long.
Treated me like your last option
Feeling undervalued and treated as a last resort.
But it's too long
Repetition of the duration being too long.
(It's been a little too long)
(Reiteration of the extended period)
And it's too late
(Reiteration of the missed opportunity for change)
(It's been a little too late)
(Reiteration of the belated realization)
Yeah it's too long
(Reiteration of being the consequence)
(Been a little too long)
(Reiteration of the extended waiting period)
But I guess I'm the price that you pay
(Reiteration of accepting the role as a consequence)
(But I guess I'm the price that you pay)
(Reiteration of the partner being too late)
You're a little too, little too late
Describing the partner as delayed and hesitant.
Scared of commitment and takin' a chance
Fearful of commitment and avoiding risks.
Like an island afraid of the waves
Using imagery of an island afraid of change.
I've just been driftin' so scared of romance
Admitting to avoiding romantic involvement due to fear.
Well I guess that just makes me the same
Reflecting on shared insecurities in relationships.
Don't you know, don't you know that it's
Repeating the duration being too long.
Too long
(Reiteration of the prolonged waiting)
(Been a little too long)
(Reiteration of the missed opportunity for change)
And it's too late
(Reiteration of the belated realization)
(Been a little too late)
(Reiteration of the extended waiting period)
Yeah it's too long
(Reiteration of accepting the role as a consequence)
(Been a little too long)
(Reiteration of the partner being too late)
But I guess I'm the price that you pay
(Reiteration of being the consequence)
You're a little too, little too late
Describing the partner as delayed and hesitant.
Sunrise, sunset
Reiterating the cyclical nature with a tinge of regret.
Thought I found love on the day that we met
Recalling the initial optimism on the day of meeting.
