[Verse 1]
He found the crack in the wall
One click, one turn
Back to the night in the hall
Let the old shame burn
First he fixed the broken glass
Then the lie, then the bruise
Every little scar in the past
Like a list he could choose
[Pre-Chorus]
Tick, tick, hands on rewind
He said, "I know what to do"
But every wound he untied
Made a new one come through
[Chorus]
Too late, too late
He broke the chain
Too late, too late
Now it won't stay the same
He changed the road
He changed the name
Too late, too late
It remembers his blame
[Verse 2]
He saved the bird from the curb
Saved the kid from the fall
But the girl in the red scarf
Never showed up at all
Same face, different eyes now
Same house, different door
He ran back for the answer
But the question was gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Tick, tick, hands on rewind
He said, "I know what to do"
But every step he rewound
Made the whole sky new
[Chorus]
Too late, too late
He broke the chain
Too late, too late
Now it won't stay the same
He changed the road
He changed the name
Too late, too late
It remembers his blame
[Bridge]
He met his own shadow
Standing where he stood
"One more try," he begged it
"Make it all good"
But the shadow just laughed
With his own crooked grin
"You don't go back untouched
When the damage is in"
[Final Chorus]
Too late, too late
He broke the chain
Too late, too late
Now it won't stay the same
He changed the road
He changed the name
Too late, too late
It remembers his blame
Too late, too late
He can't go home
Too late, too late
The future's moved on its own
