Books I’ve never read
Thoughts I had but never said
Sacrifice another, to that fire
Ticked pink to find
A thought before, I thought once more
Broken systems can’t hold back the tide
Is it too late now, to change?
Lists of lists
And deadlines missed
I’m ready, for a sign
Lists of lists
And deadlines missed
I’m ready, for the time
Is it too late now, to change?
Am I too far gone now, to change?
Every plan I made
The skills to learn
The words I saved
Written by another in the grave
Every day I wake
A different man
A different face
Can’t keep living someone else’s fate
Is it too late now, to change?
Lists of lists
And deadlines missed
I’m ready, for a sign
Lists of lists
And deadlines missed
I’m ready, for the time
Is it too late now, to change?
Am I too far gone now, to change?
The world’s got endless answers
But life’s not endless time
If endless time had an endless mind
I’d do it all
And do it all again
Lists of lists
And deadlines missed
I’m ready, for a sign
Lists of lists
And deadlines missed
I’m ready, for the time
Is it too late now, to change?
Am I too far gone now, to change?

Brilliant lyrics, and a lovely setting for them. I enjoyed my listen.

My goodness you are such an amazing poet and musician. I'm so glad I came across you so randomly. I'm a huge fan!

The guitar sounds wonderful, and so does the singing - makes these wistful musings go down easier than they might otherwise. And that "world's got endless answers" section is golden.

Interesting theme - I bet most of us have lists of things we have put aside or forgotten, at least in our minds!
But - it's never too late to change!
