It's Too Late Lyrics - Original Pirate Material - Streets

She said, "Meet me at the gates at 8 

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", temptin' fate 

We first met through a shared view 

She loved me and I did too 

It's now seven fifty, gettin' ready, better be nifty 

Do my hair quickly, step out, it's cloudy 

Mate bells me to borrow money 

I got two Henrys and a dealer to pay 

Call upon Geezers to rid these green trees of my reekin' jeans 

Got a 'You think I care' air, outglarin' Geezers' stares 

I'm here and I'm there 

Couldn't see past the end of my beer 

What was gettin' 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 choosin' what to wear 

Doin' 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 

Geezers stares bounced off 

Standin' at the top of this huge mountain 

Smilin' and shoutin', spring flowers sproutin' 

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'm 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 listenin' to her voice mail 

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, I got a fat frown 

Weapin' and drownin' 

My senses 

For this love game's expensive 

I walk in a trance 

Got a wounded soldier stance 

The everyday geezers stares 

Throw me off balance 

Now nothin' holds significance 

And nothin' 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?
