Always Too Late

So, I finally went back home
After years of being away
They said take your time
Things are different than you think
The woman that I loved
Was the girl that I had left
Well, she's finally moved on
And she set her wedding date

As I was trying hard to stay away
Running from all of my previous mistakes
I was always too late

Too late for this, too late for that
Too late for all I ever did
I was always too late
Too late for a new, too late for you
Too late for all I ever knew

So, I stopped out at the bar
Had a drink with my old friend
He tells me all about the beer he drinks
In a moment of content
He finally lets me in
Tells me all about how he lost his wife and kids

And as he sits back in his seat and takes a sip
I overheard what he said beneath his breath
That I was always too late

Too late for this, too late for that
Too late for all I ever did
I was always too late
Too late for a new, too late for you
Too late for all I ever knew

And at the end of the day I'll wait
Waiting for these tides to break
But I'll be always too late

I was always too late
Too late for this, too late for that
Too late for all I ever did
I was always too late
Too late for a new, too late for you
Too late for all I ever knew
I was always too late
