It's getting late

It’s Getting Late…and… (Song Version)
Late-Night R&B / Soul / Reflective Vibe

[Intro – soft, tired, reflective]
It’s getting late…
Full moon in my face…
Yeah…

[Verse 1]
It’s getting late, full moon on my plate
Thoughts spread wide, can’t concentrate
Dreams run deep through every vein
Sleep just calling out my name
Mind drifts back to what we knew
Staring at the sky with you
Damn, I hate how time can pull
Memories back with a full moon

[Pre-Chorus]
Night lay heavy on my chest
Not bad weight, just thick, just pressed
Got what I need, I must confess
Still something missing in the rest

[Hook / Chorus]
It’s getting late… where you at?
I been waiting, can’t ignore that
Tried to move on, but you pull me back
It’s getting late… where you at?
It’s getting late… I can’t fake
All these thoughts I can’t escape
I say I’m good, but make no mistake
I still want you… it’s getting late

[Verse 2]
I ain’t quit, I just stepped aside
Focused up, got goals to ride
Turn desire into a plan
Build it up the best I can
But my mind still drifts to us
All that vision, all that trust
Try to shake it, try to break it
But it’s still inside of us

[Pre-Chorus]
Said I’d stop, said I’m through
But I still think about you
Soon as I let go the chase
You come back like it’s a game

[Hook / Chorus]
It’s getting late… where you at?
I been waiting, can’t ignore that
Tried to move on, but you pull me back
It’s getting late… where you at?
It’s getting late… I can’t fake
All these thoughts I can’t escape
I say I’m good, but make no mistake
I still want you… it’s getting late

[Bridge – honest, conflicted]
I ain’t rushing… yeah I lied
Truth is, I don’t let things slide
If I feel it, I’ma say
Why you hesitate this way?
I could give you everything
Fire, calm, and in between
Stand beside you, lead or follow
Be your peace through every hollow

[Breakdown – stripped, realization]
But it’s too late…
Yeah… too late…
I can’t keep standing here…
Waiting…

[Verse 3 – turning point]
I’m done hoping you appear
Standing still, wishing you near
If it’s real, it’ll align
Not on your time… but divine
Full moon staring back at me
Like it knows what I can’t see
Close enough to almost taste
Still too far… it’s getting late

[Hook / Chorus – softer, resigned]
It’s getting late… where you at?
Guess I’m done with chasing that
If it’s meant, it’ll come back
It’s getting late… I accept that
It’s getting late… I release
All the tension, find my peace
If you come, it won’t be fate
I won’t wait… it’s getting late

[Outro – spoken call scene, smooth fade]
“Hello?”
“…yeah, it’s me…”
(soft smile in voice)
“Thought you said it was too late…”
…
Maybe not…
