I still pick up the phone sometimes Before I remember you won't answer

I still turn to tell you something funny Before the silence does its damage

The world just kept on moving Like nothing fundamental changed

But everything's slightly wrong now Like furniture somebody rearranged

I never said it, and now I can't All the words I say for later

Later never came I never said it, and now the space

Where it used to be Is full of everything

I should've named I loved you in the way that felt like always

The kind you don't announce because it's air I thought that we had so much time remaining

I didn't know that time was never there There are a thousand ordinary Tuesdays

I tried to sit with you one afternoon To say the things I thought you already knew

To say them out loud just once Just to you

I never said it, and now I can't All the words I say for later

Later never came I never said it, and now the space

Where it used to be Is full of everything

I should've named So let me say it now

Into the open air Maybe sound doesn't stop

Maybe somehow you're still there

Thank you for every ordinary moment That I didn't know was everything

Thank you for the way you said my name Like it meant something

And I'm sorry that I thought we had more time

I'm sorry that I kept the good stuff for a better day

That never came

I love you I love you

I should've said it Every single day

I love you I never said it

I never said it I never said it

And now I can't All the words I say for later

Later never came But I'm saying it now

Wherever you are I love you

I love you

I love you

I love you
