The name of the band comes from the girls tendency to frequently use the word “like” in the style of the valley girls of LA. The band has released two albums, "Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?" (2005) and "Release Me" (2010).
Over a period of three years, the band independently released three EPs (I Like The Like, …and The Like, and Like It or Not), which they sold at shows and on their website. Their song “(So I’ll Sit Here) Waiting” was featured on the soundtrack of the film Thirteen. Soon a diverse fan base developed and magazines around the world began to take notice. Following their high school graduations in 2004, The Like signed to Geffen Records and toured with Phantom Planet and Maroon 5, bands which, like The Like, are part of a Los Angeles music scene that also includes bands such as Rooney and Giant Drag. Since forming, The Like have drawn major media attention and have been featured in magazines such as Teen People, ELLEgirl, Nylon Magazine, and Rolling Stone.
They toured with Tori Amos on her Summer of Sin tour, and with Kings of Leon. The Like released their first album, Are You Thinking What I’m Thinking?, through Geffen on September 13, 2005. The album is a combination of reworked songs previously released on their independent EPs as well as new material. The band performed at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and at the O2 Wireless Festival in Hyde Park, London. In September 2006 The Like supported Muse on a short string of tour dates in the U.S., before heading to Europe to support Razorlight.
The band, original members Z Berg and Tennessee Thomas plus new recruits Laena Geronimo and Reni Lane, have left the studio and headed straight out on tour with the Arctic Monkeys in the US.
The band starred in a short film commissioned by designer Zac Posen as a way to promote his Target fashion collection. The film shows the band hanging out in a hotel room and then performing the single “Fair Game”. The film was directed by Gia Coppola (granddaughter of Francis Ford Coppola)
Too Late
The Like Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm waiting for the day you call me
I think I can do it on my own
Swinging like a pendulum
The time ticks by until it's gone
I'm thinking that
The sun has never shown
It's never gonna stop
Time is running out
Going into shock
'Cause you're
Too late
Too late
Too late
Oh oh oh oh oh
Never quite the effort-maker
I see you're not nearly ready
I think I can do it on my own
Just too late and still too little
I just seemed to miss you crawling
Never thought the day would come I know
Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running out
Going into shock
'Cause you're
Too late
Too late
Too late
Oh oh oh oh oh
Time is gonna start
It's never gonna stop
Time is running out
Going into shock
'Cause you're
Too late
Too late
Too late
You're too late
Too late
Too late
You're too late
Not quite
The same
Oh oh oh oh oh
The Like's song "Too Late" is essentially about someone who has decided to move on from a relationship because their partner was unwilling to put in the effort needed to make it work. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration and disappointment in the other person's inability to act in a timely manner. The singer is waiting for her partner to initiate something, to reach out and try to make things right, but they never do. She eventually realizes that the time has run out and it's too late for her partner to make amends.
The opening verse establishes a sense of uncertainty and indecisiveness. The singer is torn between wanting to wait for her partner to make a move, and feeling like she can handle things on her own. She describes herself as "swinging like a pendulum," which suggests that she's teetering back and forth without a clear sense of direction. The rest of the song is more assertive, with the singer expressing frustration and anger towards her partner's lack of initiative.
The repeated phrase "too late" serves as a kind of refrain throughout the song, underscoring the sense of finality and resolution. By the end of the song, the singer has fully come to terms with the fact that the relationship is over, and there's no going back.
Overall, "Too Late" is a relatable breakup song that captures the complex emotions of disappointment, regret, and acceptance that come with the end of a relationship.
