Match Too Late

Verse 1

Walked in the party barefoot in my mind

She had a laugh that cut the room in two

I was fumbling coins and change

She was pouring silver honey through

Pre-Chorus

Oh the timing was cruel

Oh my pockets were thin

But she looked at me twice

And that's where I begin

Chorus

She was heaven too early

I was a match too late

She danced in while I stumbled

Love don't wait oh love don't wait

She was heaven too early

I was a fool on a rope

Right woman wrong season

I ain't ready for her yet

Verse 2

She asked about tomorrow

I talked about last June

She hummed a song of somewhere warm

I hummed the lonely moon

Pre-Chorus

Oh she smelled of summer

Oh I smelled of rust

She taught my heart a language

I forgot before the dust

Chorus

She was heaven too early

I was a match too late

She danced in while I stumbled

Love don't wait oh love don't wait

She was heaven too early

I was a fool on a rope

Right woman wrong season

I ain't ready for her yet

Bridge

Maybe I'll meet her someday grown

Maybe she'll know my name

Maybe the second time around

I'll step in step instead of shame

Chorus

She was heaven too early

I was a match too late

She danced in while I stumbled

Love don't wait oh love don't wait

She was heaven too early

I was a fool on a rope

Right woman wrong season

I ain't ready for her yet

Outro

Ain't ready for her yet

Ain't ready mm-hmm

Not yet not yet

Ain't ready for her
