About the track, Lundvik said: “The title says Too Late For Love, but what I want to say that it’s really never too late for love. I dare to believe somewhere, in my naive heart, that everything can be solved with love”.
Lyrics:
Hey, how you’ve been?
I wonder, do you ever think of me?
Say, am I wrong
To wonder if it could be you and me?
Is it too late for love?
Mhm
Is it too late for love?
I wanna know
Is it too late for love?
I can’t take no more
Is it?
I could be the sun that lights your dark
And maybe I would lit your world with just one spark
I could make it burn for you and me
If I could be there
I would be there
Hear me
I could be the sun that lights your dark
(Oh, is it too late for love?)
(Is it too late for love?)
Hear me
I could make it burn for you and me
Days came and went
But nothing ever really felt the same
But you left a space
Where everything reminds me of your face
Is it too late for love?
Mhm
Is it too late for love?
I wanna know
I could be the sun that lights your dark
And maybe I would lit your world with just one spark
I could make it burn for you and me
If I could be there
I would be there
Hear me
I could be the sun that lights your dark
(Oh, is it too late for love?)
(Is it too late for love?)
Hear me
I could make it burn for you and me
(Oh, is it too late for love?)
(Is it too late for love?)
We could be a storm that rages on
And maybe we would own the ocean carry on
I could be the sun that lights your dark
And maybe I would lit your world with just one spark
I could make it burn for you and me
If I could be there
I would be there
Hear me
I could be the sun that lights your dark
(Oh, is it too late for love?)
Is it too late for love? (Is it too late for love?)
It isn’t is too late for love?
Is it?
John Lundvik & his music are both awesome…!!!
