Late At Night
Lost Chances: Late-night Reflections on Love and Regret
Lyrics
We could have made it
We had the potential for success
But we never give it a shot
We never took the opportunity
We hesitated
We were indecisive
Now we gotta give it up
Now we must abandon the endeavor
Sister don't give it thought
Advice to a friend not to dwell on it
Oh, my life is so tough
Expressing personal struggles
I wanna turn you down
Expressing a desire to reject someone
A falling double-decker bus
Imagery of a dangerous situation
Coming on top of us
Facing a crisis
We gotta jump like frogs
Using metaphorical language to escape a difficult situation
We could have made it
Reiteration of missed opportunities
But we never give it a shot
Repeating the regret of not trying
We hesitated
Reiteration of hesitation
Now we gotta give it up
Emphasizing the need to give up now
Late at night
Transition to a different theme or time
I think of you
Reflecting on someone during the night
When I try to go to sleep
Struggling to sleep due to thoughts of the person
I can't refuse
Unable to resist thinking about them
To let you in my head
Allowing someone into one's thoughts
It's such a mysterious place
Describing thoughts as mysterious
Don't waste your time
Advising not to invest time
I'm not worth it
Expressing self-doubt and low self-worth
Don't waste
Reiterating advice not to waste time
Your sweet time
Emphasizing the value of the listener's time
Yeah
Affirmation or agreement
We could have made it
Reiteration of lost opportunities
But we never give it a shot
Repeating the theme of missed chances
We hesitated
Reiteration of hesitation
Now we gotta give it up
Emphasizing the necessity to abandon the pursuit
Sister don't give it thought
Reassuring a friend not to dwell on it
Oh, my life is so tough
Expression of personal struggles
I wanna turn you down
Expressing a desire to reject someone
A falling double-decker bus
Imagery of a dangerous situation
Coming on top of us
Facing a crisis
We gotta jump like frogs
Using metaphorical language to escape a difficult situation
We could have made it
Reiteration of missed opportunities
But we never give it a shot
Repeating the regret of not trying
We hesitated
Reiteration of hesitation
Now we gotta give it up
Emphasizing the need to give up now
Late at night
Transition to a different theme or time
I think of you
Reflecting on someone during the night
When I try to go to sleep
Struggling to sleep due to thoughts of the person
I can't refuse
Unable to resist thinking about them
To let you in my head
Allowing someone into one's thoughts
It's such a mysterious place
Describing thoughts as mysterious
Don't waste your time
Advising not to invest time
I'm not worth it
Expressing self-doubt and low self-worth
Don't waste
Reiterating advice not to waste time
Your sweet time
Emphasizing the value of the listener's time
