Too Late For Lovers
Gin Wigmore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now I can't find my own way back
Leave me to lie with you chasing my eyes
So I fall for you one last time
How do you know if a pocket of gold
Will ever be enough to say I do?
[Chorus]
Save me; why won't you save me
When I gave you my whole world
To leave this holy-rolling track?
If I only knew the day that I lose would be up to you
Because you know you said forever
Still I am passing through
Cut me a heart from the Milky Way stars
To remember when we fell in love
You promised to take me on the carnival ride
But you ring-a-rosy shot that through
Now nothing you say and nothing you do
Will ever bring me back to you
[Chorus]
You know that the gun was loaded
Still you brought me here
Now I'm waiting to end my storm
Don't you leave me alone
Don't want to be here
All I see are angels
I am no angel
[Chorus]
It's too late for lovers
Save me; why won't you save me?
Because you know you said forever
Still I am passing through
In "Too Late For Lovers," Gin Wigmore sings about a relationship that has ended badly. The first verse describes the confusion and frustration she feels and how she can't find her way back to where she used to be. She then talks about the idea of a "pocket of gold," alluding to material possessions that are not enough to keep a relationship going strong. The chorus repeats the phrase "it's too late for lovers," emphasizing the fact that the relationship is over, despite her attempts to hold on. She questions her partner's love and commitment and begs for him to save her from the pain.
The second verse describes the promises that were made during better times, with lines such as "Cut me a heart from the Milky Way stars to remember when we fell in love" and "You promised to take me on the carnival ride." However, those promises are broken, and she can't be brought back, no matter what he says or does. The bridge brings it all together as she realizes that he's the one who brought her to this point and she begs for him not to leave her alone, even though she knows that she is no angel.
Overall, the song conveys a sense of bitterness and betrayal, as well as sadness and longing for what once was. The lyrics are open to interpretation, but the general message is clear: the relationship is over, and she is struggling to come to terms with it.
Line by Line Meaning
Step on my toes, riddle my road
You messed with my path and caused me harm
Now I can't find my own way back
I'm lost and don't know how to get back to where I was
Leave me to lie with you chasing my eyes
You have entranced me and I can't resist you
So I fall for you one last time
I can't help but give in to you even though it's the last time
How do you know if a pocket of gold
Money can't buy happiness, and it's not enough to guarantee love
Will ever be enough to say I do?
I wonder if love can be bought, or if it's something that just happens
No, no, it's too late for lovers
Our chance at love is gone, it's too late now
Save me; why won't you save me
I need your help, why won't you give it to me?
When I gave you my whole world
I gave you everything, and now it's gone
To leave this holy-rolling track?
I want to change my life and leave this path I'm on
If I only knew the day that I lose would be up to you
I didn't realize that you had so much power over me
Because you know you said forever
You promised to be with me forever
Still I am passing through
But you weren't true to your word and I'm still dealing with it
Cut me a heart from the Milky Way stars
Create a special memory for me to hold onto
To remember when we fell in love
So I can keep that feeling with me forever
You promised to take me on the carnival ride
You made grand promises to me
But you ring-a-rosy shot that through
But you shattered those promises
Now nothing you say and nothing you do
You can't make things better now
Will ever bring me back to you
I'm done with you, you can't fix it
You know that the gun was loaded
You knew you were hurting me, and you did it anyway
Still you brought me here
You dragged me into this situation
Now I'm waiting to end my storm
I'm just waiting for this to be over
Don't you leave me alone
I can't handle this on my own, please don't leave me
Don't want to be here
I hate being in this situation
All I see are angels
I'm surrounded by false positivity and need something real
I am no angel
I'm not always good and pure, sometimes I need help too
