Too Late for That Now

Spending too much time recalling
Moments that have already passed
Except when I'm worried about some future
That seems to be closing in so fast
The present is a gift
Sometimes hard to recognize
Never mindful of the life that's sitting
Right before my eyes

Thinking about how it used to be
Thinking about how its gonna be
I'm thinking about how it ought to be
Thinking about what I wanna be

I'll spend a day in conversation, then three or four
Wondering if I said something wrong
Searching for every musical nuance
Missing out on the song
Hours become days that change to months
That turn into years
Slipping by at a breakneck speed
May be time for shifting gears

'Cause I like the look of the spotlight
Then just leave it all on the shelf
Sometimes hide out in the shadows
And run away from the one I cast myself
Sometimes wonder what might be attainable
Firing shots across the bow
Always worried that I might die young
But its too late for that now
Yes its too late for that now
Yes its too late for that now

Give me a moment, now sonny
Hey, can't you see
I'm locked in debate on the weight of this fate
And what its got to do with me

Can't think about how it used to be
Can't think about how its gonna be
Think about how it ought to be
Think about where I want to be

'Cause I like the look of the the spotlight
Ain't gonna leave nothing on the shelf
Gonna climb out of the shadows and learn to love
The one that I cast myself
Gonna reach for what might be attainable
Even if I don't know how
Always worried that I might die young
But its too late for that now
Always worried that I might die young
But its too late for that now
Yes its too late for that now
Yes its too late for that now
Yes its too late for that now
