It's Not Too Late
Mr. John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you see my path I'm losing the fight
I'm not winning wars I don't really see
Can you tell my score
Just tell me I'll do it I don't wanna think
I don't wanna listen just pass me my ink
I want to write things down before I hit bed
My pen knows my sorrow it knows when I'm stressed
Boy come here open the door
I wanna see the sun before me
Can you also help me to store
Tomorrow you won't have to support me
I know that you're troubled by me
Know that my knuckles now bleed
Maybe my life is a blessing I'm hating too much
I'm thinking too hard and I'm holding this grudge
If no one is judging me I am the judge
The critics are shadows I'm walking in front
What if it's only me who's blaming me
It's only me who's dragging me down
Time I calm down not act like a clown
I hope that it's not too late
I'm not really old still I'm scared of the date
Hope I'm strong enough to open the gates
Hope some friends would stay with me late
I still do shit that I don't like to do
Being happy in life is no more my pursuit
Every shit I make I do not recruit
I put in the labor but where are my fruits
Boy come here open the door
I wanna see the sun before me
Can you also help me to store
Tomorrow you won't have to support me
I know that you're troubled by me
Know that my knuckles now bleed
Boy come open the door
I know that you're troubled by me
Boy come here open the door
I wanna see the sun before me
Can you also help me to store
Tomorrow you won't have to support me
I know that you're troubled by me
Know that my knuckles now bleed
The song "It's Not Too Late" by John Mayer is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain of a love that has faded away. The opening lines of the song, "Stayed in bed all mornin' just to pass the time. There's somethin' wrong here, there can be no denyin'," set the tone for the entire piece. The singer is realizing that something has changed between them and their partner, and they can't ignore it any longer.
As the song progresses, the singer acknowledges that they've both changed or perhaps have stopped trying to make their relationship work. The chorus repeats the phrase, "It's too late, baby now, it's too late, Though we really did try to make it. Somethin' inside has died, and I can't hide, And I just can't fake it, oh, no, no."
The final verse suggests that the two may separate, although the singer still values the good times they've had together. The song ends with a feeling of finality, with the lines "It's too late baby, it's too late now darling. It's too late."
Overall, "It's Not Too Late" is a poignant reminder that even the best relationships can fade away, but it's important to acknowledge the feelings and make the tough decisions before it's truly too late.
