I kiss you as I leave your door on both your cheeks
Like a friend and nothing more
I turn and I walk away as I've done so many times in the rain
And I wonder what it's for
I was just a little late
And maybe in some other time and some other place
I was just a little late
And maybe in another time and another place
I could have been there to take you away
Guys like me are spectators of tragedy
Perfect for no one quite alone
Don't worry I know how your story goes
You've found your prince and he's at home
I was just a little late
Maybe in some other time and some other place
I was just a little late
And maybe in another time and another place
I could have been there to take you away
And walking in the rain, I turn to glance
To see you locking tight your door
You think I'm perfect in all those ways
If I would have come by yesterday
I was just a little late
And maybe in another time and another place
I was just a little late
And maybe in some other time and some other place
I could have been there to take you away
