about

A popular song live and somewhat of a deviation from their usual alternative pop sound, this song is the first of two tracks on the album featuring a reggae vibe.

lyrics

TOO LATE NOW

Strain to see beyond the light at the other end of the hall
Is that the shadow of my girlfriends back heading for the door
What would you have done in my place why did we ever start
You've broken all the rules to love while tearin' out my heart

Don't say somethin' that you might regret
I might forgive you but I won't forget
Too late too late too late - too late now
It's too late now you fool it's too late
It's too late now you fool it's too late

I've been down and out so many times it didn't bother you
I was mad back then to really think the lies you spun were true
Are you really really leaving me you'll never settle down
Guess I'm just one more statistic in this ruthless battleground

Don't strut around town like you're the only one
My head hangs heavy by the damage done
It's too late too late too late - too late now
It's too late now you fool it's too late
It's too late now you fool it's too late
It's too late now you fool it's too late to change your mind
It's too late now you fool yeah it's too late

Don't say somethin' that you might regret
I might forgive you but I won't forget
Too late too late too late - too late now
Don't strut around town like you're the only one
My head hangs heavy from the damage done
It's too late too late too late - too late now
Don't say somethin' that you might regret
I might forgive you but I won't forget
Too late too late too late - too late now
Don't say somethin' that you might regret
Don't say somethin' that you might regret I won't forgive you
It's too late now you fool it's too late
It's too late now you fool yeah it's too late
Don't say somethin' that you might regret
Don't say somethin' that you might regret I won't forgive you
It's too late now you fool it's too late
It's too late now you fool yeah it's too late
It's too late it's too late it's too late...
