“Late” is a tribute that Ben Folds wrote to honor Elliott Smith after his death. “Late” touches upon how therapeutic music can be when Folds mentions how much Smith’s music helped during difficult times throughout his life.

Late Lyrics
Under some dirty words on a dirty wall
Eating takeout by myself
I played the show
Got back in the van and put the Walkman on
And you were playing
In some other dive a thousand miles away
I played a thousand times before
And like pathetic stars, the truck stops and the rock club walls
I always knew
You saw them too
But you never will again
It's too late
Don't you know
It's been too late
For a long time
Elliott, man, you played a fine guitar
And some dirty basketball
The songs you wrote
Got me through a lot
Just wanna tell you that
But it's too late
It's too late
Don't you know
It's been too late
For a long time
Oh no
Things were looking up
Least that's what I heard
Oh no
Someone came and washed away your hard-earned
Peace of mind
When desperate static beats the silence up
A quiet truth to calm you down
The songs you wrote
Got me through a lot
Just wanna tell you that
Oh, but it's too late
It's too late
Don't you know?
It's been too late
For a long time
