It's Never Too Late

Benjamin Gibbard


Don't, don't turn around
There's nothing left to be found
Where you feigned and played along
In a place you thought you belonged

So when, when did you turn
When did you wake this concern
But your shadow could not be outrun
It defeats you before you've begun

This book you never read
Is now long overdue
An errant satellite
That's lost behind the moon
But don't ever say that it's too late to cure your lonely heart

Walk, quicken your pace
Scale every wall and gate
No-one would hold you down
Get lost, lost to be found

This river never rests
It flows through you and me
We are the clouds above
We are the deepest sea
So don't ever say that it's too late to cure your lonely heart
Don't ever say that when it breaks it just feels shattered apart
Don't ever say that it's too late to cure your lonely heart
