“Too Little, Too Late,” from Laufey’s third album, A Matter of Time finds the singer sustaining a tense atmosphere throughout, with the arrangement and instrumentation swelling steadily as the track progresses.
Uniquely written from a male perspective, the track remains the only one to not be writt...
[Verse 1]
The whole town is talking 'bout how you've fallen in love
I read in the papers he's someone that girls dream about
Some kind of ruler on top of a kingdom
I'm just a jester, I'll never be him
Last night you called to me
It almost killed me
[Chorus]
To hear you scream my name
Your smile still kills the same
I almost turned around
You chased me to the ground
You asked me how I've been
But how do I begin
To tell you I should've chased
You 'cross every single state?
I lay down my sword for fate
'Cause it's too little, way too late
[Verse 2]
I didn't need the reminder of things I've done wrong
Of promises broken, fragility hidden in song
Guess that we're soulmates in different lifetimes
What if you leave him? Throw me a lifeline
I know that you're happy
But it just killed me
[Chorus]
To hear you scream my name
A clear fucking X-ray
Of if I'd stuck around
I swear to God, I almost drowned
You asked me how I've been
But how could I begin
To tell you I should've chased you
I should be who you're engaged to?
[Bridge]
Lost my fight with fate
A tug-of-war of leave and stay
I give in, I abdicate
I lay my sword down anyway
I'll see you at Heaven's gate
'Cause it's too little, way too late
[Outro]
I'll toast outside your wedding day
Whisper vows I'll never say to you
'Cause it's too little, all too late

I had so much fun writing this one. It might be one of my favorite songs on the album. It was one of those that I was rolling over at 2 a.m. being like, “Oh shit, I need to add these lyrics.” It’s not written from my perspective, it’s written from a male perspective. That was a practice of understan...
