Too Late to Say Goodbye Songtext
von Cage the Elephant

Oh, my precious ember burning, my sweet glowing light
From the moment I first saw you, I was yours and you were mine
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
And the echo of my mother′s words, "Baby, don't you play with fire"

I was always playing the part
First love only set by a spark
There was no way of changing my mind

Now I′m under your spell, trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye

Push back from my heart
Wish we could go back to the start
But, oh my God, is this real?
No more time
It′s too late
It′s too late to say goodbye


I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
Forced to watch the ashes floating, softly drifting to the ground
Deep down we both knew it was trouble by design
And the echo of my mother's words, "Baby, don′t you play with fire"

I was always playing the part
First love only set by a spark
There was no way of changing my mind

Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Shouldn′t have stood that close to the fire
No turning back, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye

Push back from my heart
Wish we could go back to the start
But, oh my God, is this real?
No more time
It′s too late, it's too late
It's too late to say goodbye

After all the dust has settled, we can settle down
Just the two of us forever, no one else around
No one else around
Around


Now I′m under your spell, trapped in a lie
Shouldn′t have stood that close to the fire
No turning back, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye

Push back from my heart
Wish we could go back to the start
But, oh my God, no escape
No more time
It′s too late, it's too late
It′s too late to say goodbye
