One Minute Too Late

I keep on looking for the right moment

I wouldn’t blink incase I missed it

It’s hard to see clearly through the smoke

It’s hard to fix something that’s not broke

Well that one guy…he is so sly

He took her away before I said goodbye

Chorus:

Let the cause take the effect

It takes hearts time to connect

Start giving my heart respect

I was one minute too late

I was one minute too late

One minute too late

The mind can play nasty tricks on you

Do you know all the pain I’ve gone through?

Quit pretending that it was nothing

Quit trying to take away my wings

Well she’s with him…life feels so grim

She has no clue I’ve lost all strength in my limbs

CHORUS

You make me feel like the white rabbit

You make it hard to stop old habits

My watch never feels like the right time

The clock’s hands never seem to align

CHORUS

I was barely too late

To set the record straight

And now I have to wait

One minute too…

One minute too…

One minute too late

So this set of lyrics is supposed to describe how many times we might come close to changing a relationship with someone else, but just come up a tad too late. The first verse can actually apply to many situations in life. But as the rest of the words go, it applies more to relationships.
