Met You By Now

You were always on my mind I imagined you'd have your dad's eyes We were so young and dumb Hadn't lived enough Decided it wasn't time Late nights with our friends filled with laughter We were living a grand adventure Maybe it's selfish but I wanted to wait Am I guilty for living I guess I could have tried a little harder Well maybe if I'd hurried I'd hold you in my arms instead of my heart I'm afraid my time is running out I should have met you by now I wanted to be ready Or as ready as I could be Your floor would be my ceiling You'd want for nothing I'd give you everything In all my preparation I worry I drug my feet Months go by No positive signs I wonder if we'll ever meet I'm sorry for living I guess I could have tried a little harder Well maybe if I'd hurried I'd hold you in my arms instead of my heart I'm afraid my time is running out I should have met you by now Do I get one chance Have I missed it Will it always be what could've been I swear I love you I don't even know your name Is there something wrong inside in me Or am I just unlucky I'll keep praying I can hold your hand one day Forgive me for living I guess I should have tried a little harder Well maybe if I'd hurried I'd hold you in my arms instead of my heart I was busy just living I guess I should have tried a little harder Well maybe if I'd hurried I'd hold you in my arms instead of my heart I'm afraid my time is running out I hope my time hasn't quite run out I'm ready to meet you now
