Too Little Too Late
Transit Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I the best you ever have?
Or do I'm blended with the rest?
Am I the pounding in your chest?
And does you ever leave your head?
Was I the life you waited for?
Toes turn inside your head
I'm sorry, it's nothing,
It's not there

Let me take you back to first time I met you
I know I'll never be the right one, the right time for anyone
The right one, the right time for anyone
Too little, too late
Too little, too late
Too little, too late
Too little, too late
I never be the right one, the right time for anyone
The right one, the right time for anyone

With those denies I couldn't rest
It was goodbye before we met
With those good times and nights to share
With empty words and empty stares
We saw your favorite record or just a song inside your head

I'm sorry, it's nothing,
It's not there

Let me take you back to first time I met you
I know I'll never be the right one, the right time for anyone
The right one, the right time for anyone
Too little, too late
Too little, too late
Too little, too late
Too little, too late
I never be the right one, the right time for anyone
The right one, the right time for anyone

Now stopping, I stop throw all you're all phone calls
And all these years I couldn't be a better man
I would be a another man
I should be a better man

Too little, too late
Too little, too late
You're too little, too late

Let me take you back to first time I met you
I know I'll never be the right one, the right time for anyone
The right one, the right time for anyone
Too little, too late
Too little, too late
Too little, too late
Too little, too late




I never be the right one, the right time for anyone
The right one, the right time for anyone

Overall Meaning

In Transit's song "Too Little Too Late," the lyrics explore themes of doubt, regret, and missed opportunities in love. The singer questions whether they were the best their partner ever had, or if they were just like everyone else. They wonder if they made their partner's heart race and if they ever think of them. The singer reflects on past memories of their time together and recognizes that it could have been something special, but now it's too late. They apologize for their mistakes but understand that it's not enough to fix what's broken.


The chorus repeats the phrase "too little, too late," which signifies the regrets of what could have been if things were different, but it's now too late to change anything. The bridge acknowledges the singer's faults and shortcomings in the relationship, wishing they could have been a better man for their partner. The song ends with the same chorus, emphasizing the remorse and realization that they were not the right person at the right time for their partner, no matter how much they wanted to be.


Overall, "Too Little Too Late" is a poignant reflection on a lost love, recognizing missed opportunities and regretting past mistakes.
