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)

a day late | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/18/09
I definitely agree that it is about a couple who have very strong feelings but only he can tell her how he feels, and she's scared to do so. And when she finally does get the courage he had already moved on.
Im a guy in and i was in a very similar situation except switched around. I'm 20 years old and i have never told a girl i love her before. I had been going out with this girl since i was 18 and i had finally realized how much she meant to me, and it wasnt just a liking, that feeling i had was love. So we had an anniversary coming up soon, so i decided to do something special and tell her how i felt then. A week before the anniversary, she unexpectedly breaks up with me for no real reason at all. I later find out that it was for another guy.
So i feel like i know exactly what a day late really means....
take a deeper look... | Reviewer: ===G--*--P=== | 7/27/09
yeah, i think everyone can take this song and change it a little bit to get their own personal meaning.. i had a best friend for over 11 years of being neihbors growing up on the same street, pretty much hanging out all day, but who wouldnt be right? idk where everything went wrong, up until my graduation after highschool we were always friends. that summer just went down hill near the end tho, eventually we would stop hanging out and up until this point when we done really talk anymore. A best friend is a terrible thing to lose, but it happens.. im just now realizing the importance of moving on. Life is short, and you cant dwell on the things that bring you down.. its too early to dwell on the past. live life to the fullest, count every day as your last.
Next step down | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/23/09
Seems to me that he's saying 1) that they've both gone and found other people to have relationships with. Difference being he's quite content with that and the person he's singing to is not. 2) They both shared the same feelings back then, but NEITHER of them spoke up about it. 3) They've been apart for a long time, but have reunited for the moment at least. 4) That since they both had such feelings for each other, they could be closer friends than they might be otherwise. As long as they don't let those feelings lead them astray, they can have a friendship stronger than most.
So what they have is essentially as close to lovers as can be while still remaining only friends.
day late friend. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/16/09
I think this song does mean what all of you's are saying in the sense that he/she was too late in confessing their love. However, i think it has a double meaning. For me, the song means more that they're not friends anymore, that it's too late now but at least they used to be before. But maybe i feel that way thanks to personal experience.
anyways, just a thought:)
A Day Late | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/19/09
I think that the song does mean what of all you are saying in the sense that a person was too late in telling someone that they loved them. However i think it has a double meaning. The way i feel and interpret the song is that two people who used to be friends and really care for each other broke apart and are no longer friends but at least they once had that a long time ago. Maybe i see it this way because of personal experiences but i wanted to put it out there.
just a thought. :)
Too late and missed it. | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/8/09
My best guy friend and I were super close. We practically knew everything about each other. We were both dating people when we got into this huge argument. At first it was over pathetic nothingness but then it got into some hidden secrets. I finally confessed my love I had for him. He was shocked, to say the least, and admitted he had loved me as well. We were too scared to admit it to each other and kept it to ourselves. A lot of what ifs occupied my thoughts after that.. too bad we were both day late best friends..
This is so true | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/5/09
I understand not many people will read this or care but I have to tell someone so why not a bunch of people I dont know... So theres this guy who I fell in love with in the first couple of days od meeting him but as it goes he was a day late because I was dating someone at the time. Well we stayed in touch and it had been almost two years sence I had last talked to him and one of my friends said he was home from Iraq. (He's in the army) Well I hung out with him for three days straight and then talked to him untill he got back on his plane for Iraq. Needless to say I had another boyfreind, and he had a girl "friend". So now he;s in Iraq and so is she (she's in the army too). He dosnt come home untill oct. but I know I could neer be as good as she is. I dont ever think he will love me like I do him. Thanks for reading this if you did I bet I sound pathetic.
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. :)
