It's Too Late |
She said, «Meet me at the gates at eight |
Leave now, don’t be late» |
She said one day she’d walk away 'cause I was always late |
Thought things were okay |
Didn’t care though anyway |
Say, «Sorry, babe, I had to meet a mate», tempting fate |
We first met through a shared view, she loved me and I did too |
It’s now 7:50, getting ready, better be nifty |
Do my hair quickly; |
step out, it’s cloudy |
Mate bells me to borrow money |
I got two Henry’s and a dealer to pay |
Call up on geezers to rid these green trees of my reeking jeans |
Got a «You think I care?» |
air, out-glaring geezers' stares |
I’m here and I’m there |
Couldn’t see past the end of my beer |
What was getting near all the silence after the cheers |
I didn’t know that it was over |
'Til it was too late (Too late) |
But if I ever needed you |
Would you be there? |
She said, «Meet me at the gates |
Don’t be late» |
But pretty soon, the day came for change |
And I was glad she never walked away |
So I’m choosing what to wear |
Doing my hair with an hour to spare |
When my life went pear, she’d been there with a thick stare |
Big wheel climbed to the top |
Geezer stares bounced off |
Standing at the top of this huge mountain |
Smiling and shouting, spring flowers sprouting |
Not one inch of doubt in my mind as I reached the gates |
Came 'round the corner at a rate |
Risked her love, but I was gonna set things straight |
Never again am I gonna be late |
Never again am I gonna be late |
Never again am I gonna be late |
I didn’t know that it was over |
'Til it was too late (Too late) |
But if I ever needed you |
Would you be there? |
I said, «Meet me at the gates |
Leave now, don’t be late» |
I waited for a while listening to her voicemail, mind set sail |
Then the facts turned me pale |
Wind, rain and hail |
My fears unveiled for my fair female |
She’d walked away; |
too little, too late |
I step up the pace, walk past the gates, rain runs over my face |
Spirit falls from grace |
I purchase a hazy escape at the alcohol place in the Chase |
Sat down, got a fat frown |
Weeping and drowning my senses |
For this love game’s expensive |
I walk in a trance |
Got a wounded soldier’s stance |
And the everyday geezers' stares throw me off balance |
Now nothing holds significance |
And nothing holds relevance |
'Cause the only thing I can see is her elegance |
I didn’t know that it was over |
'Til it was too late (Too late) |
But if I ever needed you |
Would you be there? |
I didn’t know that it was over |
'Til it was too late (Too late) |
But if I ever needed you |
Would you be there? |
