Too Little Too Late
Miles Kane Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One, two, three, four
Give me something for the guillotine
Give me something your heart
Give me something for the best days of us
Give me something wrapped in cellophane
I try and I try but I can't stop
I'm too fickle
Set in my ways
I'm too little too late
Coming down like a limousine
Follow drag queens and sharks
It's all entertainment to trademark, uh
Underground, guess I'm guaranteed
Pirouetting in the dark
I try but I can't be what I'm not
I'm too fickle
Set in my ways
I'm too little too late
Well I try but I can't, honey
What can I say?
I'm too little too late
Too late
Too late
Too late
But if you tried, you might find
That I was always enough for you
When you sat at home (when you sat at home)
Lookin' down that track (looking down that track)
Well, I was always enough for you
But I'm too fickle
Set in my ways
I'm too little too late
I try but I can't, honey
What can I say
I'm too little too late
Too late
Too late
Too late
The lyrics to Miles Kane's song Too Little Too Late speak to a sense of missed opportunity and regret. The opening lines "Give me something for the guillotine / Give me something your heart" suggest a need for something to ease the pain of losing love. The desire for "something wrapped in cellophane" and a "new start" indicates the singer's longing for a clean break from the past. Despite efforts to change and be what the other person wants, the singer recognizes that they are "too fickle" and "set in [their] ways." The repeated phrase "I'm too little too late" serves as a refrain, emphasizing the feeling of being too late to make things right.
The middle section of the song introduces a sense of hedonism and escapism with the lines "Coming down like a limousine / Follow drag queens and sharks / It's all entertainment to trademark." These lyrics suggest the singer's attempt to distract himself from the pain of lost love by indulging in wild and unconventional activities. However, even in this mode, the singer admits that they "try but [they] can't be what [they're] not."
The final section of the song introduces another layer of regret with the lines "But if you tried, you might find / That I was always enough for you / When you sat at home / Lookin' down that track / Well, I was always enough for you." These lyrics suggest that the singer now realizes that they were what the other person needed all along, but it's too late to make things right.
