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