Now That It's Too Late, Maria Lyrics - All Your Favorite Bands - Dawes

The flicker of the candle looks like a one way conversation 

Reacting to something nobody else could see 

While I sit at the table and relive the whole situation 

Until the valet who wants to go home comes in and gives me my keys 

And tonight every single star is shining 

The power lines all sizzle and buzz 

And now that it's too late, Maria 

I see it all for what it was 

There's nothing sadder than a streetlight shining on a stretch of empty sidewalk 

Or maybe the fog that I've been living in has lifted for the first time in weeks 

Every day's been a step forward perfecting the art of the small talk 

So I never have to say something I might really mean 

But I remember all those final words that you told me 

How I was too green to be blue 

But now that it's too late, Maria 

I can see how that was true 

Now when I am in your city I come across the company you've been keeping 

They all hit it off so well with some infamous ghost of my past 

It's so hard to imagine what you could have possibly told them 

Some wonder how I'm doing but most don't even ask 

But now every single door stands open I even signed some autographs 

And now that it's too late, Maria 

We can both look back and laugh 

There's always more to say but I'm just skipping to the ending 

When you move back to Texas and I meet a girl who wants to change her name 

When we both start to forget the problems that were never worth having 

And everybody goes on living watching nothing really change 

There will always be a part of you that's with me 

And you sure as hell had better feel the same 

And now that it's too late, Maria 

There is no one here to blame
