Cage The Elephant Cage The Elephant - Too Late To Say Goodbye

Oh, my precious ember burning my sweet glowing light
From the moment I first saw you I was yours, and you were mine
Deep down we both knew you were trouble by design
And the echo of my mother's words: Baby, don't you play with fire

I was always playing the part first love only set by a spark
There was no way changing my mind

Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
But, oh my God! Is this real? No more time
It's too late, it's too late to say goodbye

I can hear the sounds of sirens circling around
Forced to watch the ashes floating softly drifting to the ground
Deep down we both knew it was trouble by design
And the echo of my mother's words: Baby, don't you play with fire

I was always playing the part first love only set by a spark
There was no way changing my mind

Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
Push back from my heart, wish we could go back to the start
But oh my God! Is this real? No more time
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to say goodbye

After all the dust has settled we can settle down
Just the two of us forever, no one else around
No one else around
Around

Now I'm under your spell, trapped in a lie
Shouldn't have stood that close to the fire
No turning back, nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It's too late to say goodbye
Push back from my heart, wish we go back to the start
But, oh my God! No escape, no more time
It's too late, it's too late, it's too late to say goodbye
