Lyrics

Too Late

[Intro: Nick Hexum]

Way-ah-oh

Way-ah-oh, oh-oh-oh

Way-ah-oh

Way-ah-oh, oh-oh-oh

[Verse 1: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

I've been spinnin' in circles, stuck in the state of contemplate

By the time that you hear this it will be too late

May not do a bit of good, but I cannot stay in a hopeless way

By the time that you hear this it will be too late, too late

[Pre-Chorus: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

Grasping in the darkness

Making it up as I go along

Find what we needed, right when you read this

It will be too late

[Chorus: Nick Hexum]

Made our way blindly for way too long

Made our way blindly for way too long

[Post-Chorus 1: Doug "SA" Martinez]

It's human nature's attraction to danger

You look around but you won't see the rangers

Just crazy actin' strangers actin' up major

Actin' up major

[Verse 2: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

The river cuts its way through stone, not through sheer force but persistence

At the end of the day the relentless always win

If they wanted to stop us, opportunity passed 'cause they hesitate

By the time that you hear this it will be too late, too late

[Pre-Chorus: Nick Hexum with Doug "SA" Martinez]

Grasping in the darkness

Making it up as we go along

Find what we needed, right when you read this

It will be too late

[Chorus: Nick Hexum]

Made our way blindly for way too long

Made our way blindly for way too long

[Post-Chorus 2: Doug "SA" Martinez]

Only thing to stop us or cutting us off of

A road I've been told that ends in a drop off

The universe explodes, new galaxies pop up

New galaxies pop up

[Bridge: Nick Hexum]

Low on gas, goin' fast, in the passin' lane

All the light in the tunnel was an oncoming train

Out of sight, out of mind, and I'm stuck in a bind

That was the end of the line

[Breakdown: Nick Hexum]

Lick shot, king of the block

It's goin' down another hard knock, that's all you got

We'll turn it up in the mix, they'll hear it loud in the sticks

Relay the message from the downtowns with loud sounds

We expound, it will be too late

[Outro]

OH! OH! OH!

O-O-O-O-O-O-OH

OH! OH! OH!

O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-OH
