Ready Is Always Too Late

When will I get you alone?
Waiting in this fear is impossible to me
But I'll be gentle with my tone
'Cause even if I wanted to, where we go depends on you

It never feels like wasting time (wasting time)
Lying here just you and I
I'd stay forever and a day
I wonder if you'll feel the same way?

What if I told ya
This could be over
I just can't bear to hear you say
Let's take it steady
One day you'll let me
But not 'til we're ready
But ready is always too late, too late
But ready is always too late

Maybe I'm just too blind to see, yeah
Jumping in so deep was irresponsible of me
But what if you're all I need?
Tell me what you're going through, I'll be here to comfort you

It never feels like wasting time
Sharing secrets you and I
I'd stay forever and a day
I want you to feel the same way

What if I told ya
This could be over
I just can't bear to hear you say
Let's take it steady
One day you'll let me
But not 'til we're ready
But ready is always too late, too late
But ready is always too late

We've been here all this time (here all this time)
If that doesn't change your mind
Won't you tell me this is real
Won't you let me (let me)
Don't say when you're ready (ready)
That's just too late

What if I told ya
This could be over
I just can't bear to hear you say
Let's take it steady
One day you'll let me
But not 'til we're ready
But ready is always too late, too late
Ready is always too late
