Cage The Elephant - Too Late To Say Goodbye lyrics

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, nowhere to run
Nowhere 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 to say goodbye

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, nowhere to run
Nowhere 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
Around

Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back, nowhere to run
Nowhere 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
