It's Too Late (High Contrast Remix)

She said meet me at the gates at 8

Leave now don't be late

She said one day she'd walk away 'cos I was always late

Thought things were ok

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

Doing my hair quickly

Step out - it's cloudy

Mate bells me to borrow money I've got two henries and a dealer to pay

Call up on geezers to rid these green trees in my reaking jeans

Got a "you think I care?" air out-glaring geezer stares

I'm here and I'm there

Couldn't see past the end of my beer..

What was getting near or the silence after the cheers

Didn't know that it was over

Till 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 fixed stare

Big wheel climbs to the top

Geezers' 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 reach 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 x3

Didn't know that it was over

Till 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

Walk in a trance

Got a wounded soldier stance

And everyday geezer stares throw me off balance

Now nothing holds significance, and nothing holds relevance

Cos the only thing I can see is her elegance

Didn't know that it was over

Till it was too late (too late)

But if I ever needed you

Would you be there?

Didn't know that it was over

Till it was too late (too late)

But if I ever needed you

Would you be there?
