Viewing lyrics for Too Long Too Late by Alex & the Anders.

I had a dream that felt like New York Summer
in a building where everything was bronze covered
they had security for the security guards
and windows with gold plated bars
how I hate it that I love this place

next to the rooms on every floor were starbucks
and in every room was a mini bar and an icebox
I found that the less sense that you make
they wanna go out and get you a scotch and a steak
how I love it that I hate this place.

there is never too long
but there is always too late
just cause I refuse to die
doesn't make my life a lie

there is a homeless guy outside of the window
asking for change from the man in the Armani coat
he writes the rules and he cuts the checks
but he's still really deep in debt
can you believe it that that man said no

I finally made my way down into the basement
and college students wave me over to an encasement
for all I know they coulda lied, but they told me what was inside
it was a dentist at a hockey game

if you got a kid at home
then don't get drunk when you're alone
