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
