Too Late Now (NDC)

[VERSE 1] Ceiling fan don’t move at all Just a crack runs down the paint Morning light through half-closed blinds Same as every day it ain’t Phone lights up then fades to black Alarm set but I’m awake There was time I used to turn Now I lie here for their sake [PRE-CHORUS] Nothing in the room says stay Still I don’t get up [CHORUS] It ain’t too hard to leave, just too late now Door’s wide open, I just don’t go I know the road, I seen it play out But I stayed long enough to know Nothing holding me here but the fallout If I walk, it don’t land clean So I lay here staring straight up Living with the in-between [VERSE 2] Coffee cold beside the sink Shoes lined up by the door Keys right there where I left them Same place as before I had plans I used to say Out loud like they were close Now they sound like someone else Someone I don’t know [PRE-CHORUS] No one told me to stand still Still I never moved [CHORUS] It ain’t too hard to leave, just too late now Door’s wide open, I just don’t go I know the road, I seen it play out But I stayed long enough to know Nothing holding me here but the fallout If I walk, it don’t land clean So I lay here staring straight up Watching what I didn’t choose [BRIDGE] I could walk out in one step Nothing chained, nothing locked But it all don’t stop with me Everything I leave behind drops I chose this, piece by piece Didn’t feel it closing in Now the years don’t look like mine More like something that I’ve been in [CHORUS] It ain’t too hard to leave, just too late now Door’s wide open, I just don’t go I know the road, I seen it play out And I stayed long enough to know Nothing holding me here but the fallout If I walk, it don’t land clean So I lay here staring straight up Watching what I didn’t choose [OUTRO] Ceiling don’t say a word Still it knows me well
