I might as well tell you what I wanted to say
Cause they're never gonna hear this anyway
I'm packing my bags and I'm leaving today
And I'm not coming back cause I don't wanna stay
But I gotta take the kids to school
Do the dishes, go running, fill the car with fuel
And this list could go on forever
But now I'm back, it's Better Late Than Never
We met in the 90s we were just 18
And I knew what I wanted, if you know what I mean
We would take on the world with our hopes and dreams
There was nothing could stop us
An unbreakable team
We got married and I took a job
Then the band broke up and the dream was gone
We had kids and settled down forever
But now I'm back, it's Better Late Than Never
But if only we had stuck to the plan
I'd be kind of the hill, you'd be the queen of glam
Or maybe we'd have never have got that far
When I look back at the other guys
Some who persevered and some who never tried
It kinda makes me glad of where we are
They broke the system when they made it free
Lost ten thousand musicians to history
We'll never have known if it was meant to have been
Its creative destruction replaced by machine
But the truth is never simple and pure said a wiser man than me from days of yore
And if procrastination is my best endeavour
Well now I'm back, it's Better Late Than Never
But if only we had stuck to the plan
I'd be kind of the hill, you'd be the queen of glam
Or maybe we'd have never have got that far
When I look back at the other guys
Some who persevered and some who never tried
It kinda makes me glad of where we are
It's Better Late Than Never
It's Better Late Than Never
It's Better Late Than Never
It's Better Late Than Never
