Too Late to Say Goodbye - Cage the Elephant Riff: - Oh my precious ember burning, my sweet glowing light From the moment I first saw you I was yours and you were mine Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design And the echo of my mother's words, "baby don't you play with fire." I was always playing the part: first love only set by a spark There was no way changing my mind Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie, shouldn't have stood that close to the fire No turning back, no where to run, no where to hide, it's too late to say goodbye Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start, but oh my God is this real? No more time Riff It's too late, It's too late to say goodbye Mute I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around Forced to watch the ashes floating, softly drifting to the ground Deep down we both knew it was trouble by design And the echo of my mother's words, "baby don't you play with fire." I was always playing the part: first love only set by a spark There was no way changing my mind Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie, shouldn't have stood that close to the fire No turning back, no where to run, no where to hide, it's too late to say goodbye Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start, but oh my God is this real? No more time It's too late, It's too late, It's too late to say goodbye - - - - - After all the dust has settled, we can settle down Just the two of us forever, no one else around No one else around aroooound Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie, shouldn't have stood that close to the fire No turning back, no where to run, no where to hide, it's too late to say goodbye Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start, but oh my God no escape No more time It's too late, It's too late, It's too late to say goodbye First half of riff to end
