Too Late for Love
Fair Warning Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Your face in the mirror the words that you say
They echo in circles through my mind

The streets of the city lie empty and grey
They're leading to nowhere, 'cause now we pay the prize

It's too late for the dreams, we had in mind
We learned it the hard way but now we realize

T's too late for love
Girl, don't you see, we're running out of time
It's too late for love
We lost it to the night
A hand full of memories - the truth that remains
The voice in our hearts it's never wrong

A new day is dawning it's calling our names
Seems love is a wanderer and now it's moving on
It's too late for the dreams we had in mind
We closed our eyes, girl but now we can't deny

It's too late for love
Girl, don't you see, we're running out of time
It's too late for love
We lost it to the night

It's too late for love
Girl, don't you see, we're running out of time
It's too late for love
We lost it to the night





We lost it to the nights

The opening lines, "Your face in the mirror the words that you say, They echo in circles through my mind" suggest that the man is reflecting on the things the woman said that have stayed with him. The emptiness of the city streets leads to the realization that they are paying the price for not being able to hold on to their dreams.


The lines "It's too late for the dreams, we had in mind, We learned it the hard way but now we realize" indicates that they have come to terms with the fact that they can no longer hold on to their dreams of being together.
