[Intro – clean guitar, soft piano] (quiet, reflective) [Verse 1] I was runnin’ wild through every moment Chasin’ anything that shined Every road felt like a promise Till it faded with the night I thought I knew what love was worth Till I saw it in your eyes All the noise just fell to silence Like the truth I’d missed my whole life [Pre-Chorus] Every step that came before you Now it don’t feel like wasted time ‘Cause every wrong turn brought me closer To the day you walked in mine [Chorus] Maybe I found you late But I found you when it’s real When I finally had a heart That could understand the feel Yeah, you could’ve been my first But you’re everything I need And I’d rather have you now Than a past that wasn’t me Yeah, it took some time to get here But you’re worth all those years [Verse 2] There were shadows I got lost in There were nights I couldn’t face But they led me to your light now Every scar just falls in place You don’t see what I’ve been through Like it’s somethin’ I should hide You just take me as I am now And somehow make it right [Pre-Chorus] If I could go rewrite it I don’t know if I would dare ‘Cause every broken second Led me to the love that's the most rare [Chorus] Maybe I found you late But I found you when it’s true When I finally knew the difference Between lonely and with you Yeah, you could’ve been my first But you’re better than a dream ‘Cause you found me as I am Not who I was pretendin’ to be Yeah, it took some time to get here But you’re worth all those years [Bridge – warm, building] (soft) We’re not startin’ at the beginning… We’re startin’ where it means somethin’… (building) Every second from here on out Feels like time finally countin’ [Guitar Solo – melodic, uplifting phrasing] [Final Chorus – full, anthemic, hopeful] Maybe I found you late But I found you here and now And forever finally makes sense Every time I say it out loud Yeah, you weren’t my first But you’re my last, my everything And I wouldn’t trade this moment For a thousand might-have-beens Yeah, it took some time to get here But you’re worth all those years [Outro – gentle, resolved] (soft) It's not too late…
