A Day Late Lyrics
Artist(Band):Anberlin
So let me get this straight
Say now you loved me all along
What made you hesitate
to tell me with words what you really feel?
I can see it in your eyes
you mean all of what you say
I remember so along ago, see I felt that same way
Now we both have separate lives and lovers (and lovers)
Insignificantly enough
we both have significant others
Only time will tell
Time will turn and tell
We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
we are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
But thoughts they change
and times they rearrange
I don't know who you are anymore
Loves come and go and this I know
I'm not who you recall anymore
But I must confess
you're so much more than I remember
Can't help but entertain
these thoughts, thoughts of us together
We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
My day late friend
So let me get this straight
All these years
and you were no where to be found
And now you want me for your own
But you're a day late
and my love, she's still renowned
We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
We are who we were when
Could have been lovers but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when
Who knew what we know now
Could have been more but at least you're still my day late friend
We are who, we are who we were when (fade out)

Review about A Day Late
Meaning of the song | Reviewer: h0ola | 6/10/09
If I understand it correctly, it speaks about confessing a love when it's already too late - the person singing the song also liked the other person before, but now they have their own lives and partners. "Day late" meaning probably the person confessed a day after the other one found his/her new partner. :)
i dont want him to be my day late friend | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/11/09
so i've liked this guy for over a year now. he liked me when we first met and clearly showed it too. but i was only 17 and was scared to get into a relationship with this guy. so after getting to know him for a few months by going out on walks at night in my neighborhood, i tried to let go of my feelings and purposely lose touch with him. there were a lot of obstacles that probably would have prevented our relationship to grow, but now i regret not ever giving it a chance. i still talk to him today, but hes in college now and probably likes someone else. after listening to this song, i promised myself that i would do anything than to let him be my day late friend. the next time i see him, i'm going to tell him everything. i just hope im not a day late...
He was told.. | Reviewer: Lauren | 4/17/09
This reminds me of my best friend, and, like the song, I told him I liked him (well, love him) a day too late. He was already going out with a girl the day earlier..
I still love him. And he showed me this song.
Could've Been Lovers | Reviewer: Dave | 4/8/09
I'm not really great with reviews but here we go...
I got this CD (Lost Songs) having never *ever* heard any of Anberlin's songs - it was a spontaneous buy. But this song really clicked with me. I glanced through the comments about significant others, and just thought I'd offer my input :D
What I understood from the lyrics is that he loves her (extrapolating a little, sorry) but he won't cheat. He says he *thinks* of them together but they aren't. As he says she's his day late *Friend*.
That said I'm a guy and I have a nasty feeling that one day I could be in the same situation. I'm in love with this girl, but we're just friends (she knows btw) but now she has a boyfriend, so I'm trying harder to get over her. For some reason though I can't help feeling that something similar might happen to me because we don't really act like friends (IE cuddling to watch stuff on my tiny-ass laptop.)
Ramble ramble ramble...

I was too... | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/6/09
I was really close with my guy friend, told him everything and vice versa. I had a boyfriend I was "in love" with when we met and my friend had a huge thing for me, but I was young (barely 17) and told him my current boyfriend was my soulmate (what a crock that turned out to be) When I finally realize it should have been him all along he had a girlfriend whom he had fallen for. This cycle went on and on and on. One of of always had someone else. At one point we were both single but he moved to another city, we tried and failed, he got scared and I let my strong feelings show too soon. Finally, over 4 years later, I had a boyfriend and my friend told me he would wait for me, but he couldn't wait forever. I said that was fine, but I was "in love" and urged him to find someone. He ended up back with one of his ex's. I also currently have a boyfriend who adores me but we can't help but still talk about the "what if's" with each other. It's been over 6 years since we first met. He's engaged now. It sucks. But everything was just..well...A Day Late.
try years late?!!! | Reviewer: beeturtleme | 3/23/09
I've been in love with the same guy for about 8 years now...we had a shot but we both didn't take it..well me, he was willing but i was too shy and insecure and now i compare everyone to him and honestly if we woulda happened 2 years ago we would probably be married now happily ever after but i missed my shot and lost it and now that years have passed i feel like an idiot, like why didn;t i just say yes!! i still love him, alot alot, i always will, i just hope he's happy and doesn't settle, he deserves the absolute best, time heals time itself, i know we'll be in the future, not now but definitely in the future! so don't be the day late! do what you're feeling! there's so much i wish i woulda just done but i didn't!
Hmm.. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/14/09
I like this song, I recently got a hold of the album and listened to it again and decided to check the lyrics and I noticed the very first comment which disappointed me and I must say that you have it all wrong and it's people like yourself that are the jerks who don't even take time to think about a situation that would play out along with the song. Even in the first part of the song it says that "So long ago" he felt the same way too and even though later he confesses he has thoughts of them together he has his own lover now and they can only be friends to each other now. And it is anything but a "Jarks Anthem" Even if you fail to understand my reasoning just read over the lyrics one more time and actually think before you write a comment, thanks.
dissapointed. | Reviewer: Badd Bad idea | 2/21/09
Don't you feel bad for the "significant others" in this song? I hate people who cheat. That's messed upp. This is basically a jerk's anthem. Just saying, when a guy has a gf hes off limits, and a girl has a bf shes off limits. grow up.
Extra Late | Reviewer: Anonymous | 2/16/09
I was head over heels in love with my ex for years, even after she broke up with me and no matter what she wouldn't get back with me. She started messing around with my best friend so I got a new girlfriend. Years later I was engaged to my girlfriend and she tried to get me to call it off telling me she still loved me and wasn't ready for me to be married. She still fucks my life up, daily.
i am the day late friend | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/11/09
this song makes me think of myslef
i am the day late friend
the first guy i slept with, i never thought i'd even like
i knew he'd liked me for a really long time but i was never really interested in him
he turned out to be my first real boyfriend though
my first love and whatnot
i texted him on his birthday last year
even though we hadn't spoken since the breakup
and last time i saw him he was a real jackass
but i couldn't stop thinking about him
so i did
and he was really friendly
but now we both are in relationships with other people and i don't know if we'll ever get back together
or if we did whether or not it would be a good thing
i don't even know if i want to get back with him...
