Little Too Late Lyrics - Singles - Nicki Bluhm And The Gramblers

I knew you from the day the door got kicked in 

The gang was hanging around cause we had some things to talk about 

You were stoned from out of town, 

Your head up on the moon 

You needed some place to hide out and our place would have to do 

Pigeon-toed and guilty just a friend of a friend of a friend 

You've taken a fall and missed the ground 

But just kept on going 

We never knew just what it was 

You weren't no Hester Prynne 

But you said something before you left 

That we all could believe in 

Chorus: 

You said 

It's not how you swim it's how you hold your breath 

It's not about playing fair in this life 

It's more about cheating death 

If you don't like getting old 

Well you'll hate the other choice I'm told 

Cause it's a little too late to die young (a little too late to die young) 

It's a little too late to die young 

The night got long, we sang some songs and shared some stories too 

We topped the top of the last cold pop 

As the sky was turning blue 

All of a sudden the door crashed in 

And in came six big police men 

As they carries you away, you said those words again. 

Chorus: 

You said 

It's not how you swim it's how you hold your breath 

It's not about playing fair in this life 

It's more about cheating death 

If you don't like getting old 

Well you'll hate the other choice I'm told 

Cause it's a little too late to die young (a little too late to die young) 

It's a little too late to die young 

One fine day you're lookin' back 

You worked ten years and you don't have jack 

The dreams you had are wearing thin 

But the new dream just don't let you in
