And I was glad she never walked away
Mate bells me to borrow money
Didn't care though anyway
Couldn't see past the end of my beer
Geezers stares bounced off
Wind, rain and hail
Then the facts turned me pale
She'd been there with a thick stare
Weapin' and drownin'
It's now seven fifty, gettin' ready, better be nifty
Would you be there?
But if I ever needed you
Mind set sail
Never again am I gonna be late
The everyday geezers stares
I didn't know that it was over
And nothin' holds relevance
Risked her love but I'm gonna set things straight
Walk past the gates
Standin' at the top of this huge mountain
Spirit falls from grace
Sat down, I got a fat frown
Doin' my hair with an hour to spare
Would you be there?
I said, "Meet me at the gates
'Til it was too late, too late
Would you be there?
Got a wounded soldier stance
Too little too late
Came 'round the corner at a rate
She said one day she'd walk away
But if I ever needed you
She loved me and I did too
Big wheel climbed to the top
My fears unveiled
For this love game's expensive
Don't be late"
I got two Henrys and a dealer to pay
Smilin' and shoutin', spring flowers sproutin'
I step up the pace
'Cause I was always late
But pretty soon the day came for change
Never again am I gonna be late
I didn't know that it was over
Got a 'You think I care' air, outglarin' Geezers' stares
Is her elegance
I walk in a trance
I didn't know that it was over
Throw me off balance
So I'm choosin' what to wear
All the silence after the cheers
When my life went pear
Thought things were okay
'Cause the only thing I can see
Never again am I gonna be late
What was gettin' near?
Now nothin' holds significance
Not one inch of doubt in my mind
'Til it was too late, too late
I'm here and I'm there
My senses
'Til it was too late, too late
I had to meet a mate", temptin' fate
For my fair female
She'd walked away
At the alcohol place in the chase
But if I ever needed you
Call upon Geezers to rid these green trees of my reekin' jeans
But if I ever needed you
Rain runs over my face
We first met through a shared view
As I reached the gates
Do my hair quickly, step out, it's cloudy
Leave now, don't be late"
Say, "Sorry babe
I didn't know that it was over
'Til it was too late, too late
I purchase a hazy escape
She said, "Meet me at the gates
I waited for a while listenin' to her voice mail
