Too Late
Chase Atlantic Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Look what happened
I don′t feed her fear, I feed her habits
Took her to the heavens in a carriage
Ain't no white horse, white had her doing back flips

I ain′t keeping scores, I think it's ordinary
But watch, I'm keeping yours, they say "the more, the merry"
They told me "never trust a bitch," I told them "more than fair-y"
Put that molly on her tongue, she said "extraordinary"

You′re too late
Had your girlfriend at my house for two days
Should be obvious the reason she stayed with me
Build a rocket ship, throw bricks in ya face, yeah, oh
You′re too late
Slide in, came with perfect timing
She climbed in, picture-perfect timing
(You're too late)
Slide and put that bitch beside me
(You′re too late)
Sing this, I'm gon bet she′ll date me

Had to send her home, I had her dope sick
Hit like two percent then hear the phone ring
Tell her that you love her even though you know it's hopeless
You could feel the pressure when she started coming home less

I ain′t keeping scores, I think it's ordinary
But watch, I'm keeping yours, they say "the more, the merry"
They told me "never trust a bitch," I told them "more than fair-y"
Put that molly on her tongue, she said "extraordinary"

Had your girlfriend at my house for two days
She stayed with me
And then throw bricks in ya face, yeah, oh

You′re too late
Had your girlfriend at my house for two days
Should be obvious the reason she stayed with me
Build a rocket ship, throw bricks in ya face, yeah, oh
You′re too late

Slide in, came with perfect timing
She climbed in, picture-perfect timing
(You're too late)
Slide in, put that bitch beside me




(You′re too late)
Sing this, I'm gon bet she′ll date me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Chase Atlantic's "Too Late" are about a romantic triangle, where the singer has taken the girlfriend of the third party for two days and has caused him to realize he has lost her. The singer is depicted as a womanizer who does not feed his romantic partner's fear but instead feeds her habits. He took her to the heavens in a carriage, but it was not on a white horse as it had her doing backflips. He expresses disinterest in keeping scores and says that, for him, it is ordinary. But he is keeping the scores of the man who lost his girlfriend and is mocking him.


The singer is aware that people have warned him never to trust a woman, but he replies that it is more than fair-y, a play on the word fairytale. He adds that he has put Molly, a synthetic drug, on her tongue, and she called it extraordinary. The chorus repeats the statement that the third party's girlfriend was in his house for two days, and he has now realized that he is too late. The repetition of the phrase "you're too late" emphasizes the sense of finality of the situation.


Overall, "Too Late" is a song about love, jealousy, and the struggles of romantic relationships. The lyrics convey a sense of cynicism and arrogance, yet there is an underlying vulnerability, which makes the song more intriguing.
