Lyrics
You walked in to the room
I just had to laugh
The face you wore was cool
You were a photograph

When it's all too late
It's all too late

I did not have the time
I did not have the nerve
To ask you how you feel
Is this what you deserve

When it's all too late
It's all too late

Change
You can change
Change
You can change

And something on your mind
Became a point of view
I lost your honesty
You lost the life in you

When it's all too late
It's all too late

We walk and talk in time
I walk and talk in two
Where does the end of me
Become the start of you

When it's all too late
It's all too late

Change
You can change
Change
You can change

What has happened to
The friend that I once knew
Has he gone away

When it's all too late
It's all too late

Change

Change
You can change
Change
You can change
