Lyrics
LATE FOR LIFE
The came to me
The city speaks
I have got more than you?ll ever see
Verse 1
Across the wire, he shifts the light
Missing you babe it?s just cruel tonight
God I wish those words were yours and not the wine?s
Verse 2
I feel like fumes from days gone by
Like cinders in a Boston sky
I smolder still but far from where I once ignited
Bridge
But I?ve got to throw some baggage overboard
The debris that you made of me
Verse 3
So we?re spent ? that?s ok by me
Go swallow all the softness that you see
Please excuse me - I am late for life again
