Story behind the song
Don't take time for granted.
"It's later than you think" is an expression used on a regular basis in my hometown (thanks Preston!)
Lyrics
Got together late last night with one of my oldest friends
Talked about all the crazy times and how they never end
We had dreams and different plans, but we both ended up right here
He said I still have a few dreams left, but they'll have to wait another year
It's funny how the time goes by when nothing's going wrong
And then one day you reach for time and it's already gone
Had a girl in my neighbourhood who made me feel alive
Heart of gold and plenty of fun and always on your side
She treated everyone the same, it didn't matter where you're from
She's no longer with us now, I lost, part of the sun
Prechorus
It's later than you think
It's later than you think
It's later than you think, my friend
Life's been good and we managed to stash a little cash, away
And when it's right I'm gonna take us down to the south some day
We always talked about packing our bags and leaving our worries behind
But it always gets delayed until another time
Prechorus/Chorus
I'm gonna find a way to turn this boat around
I'm gonna find a way to wind this drifting down
I'm gonna tack a new direction in this life
And then I'm gonna sail right home to you, to you
Prechorus/Chorus
