All of a Sudden (It’s Too Late)
[Verse 1]
What can I say?
Why do we starve a thing that's near extinction?
From day to day
These weeds of fear are choking our conviction
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Life's like a jig-saw
You get the straight bits
But there's something missing in the middle
[Chorus]
(All of a sudden) We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden) We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden) We find the sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden) We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden) We find that we've lost love
Please don't push or shove because
It's too late
It's too late
In all your hurry
You accidentally locked the gate
[Verse 2]
What can we do?
Trying to stem the flow of sand seems useless
It's up to you
Start holding hands, watch the balance redress
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Life's like a firework
You're only lit once
And you must stand and radiate correctly
[Chorus]
(All of a sudden) We find the cupboard's bare
(All of a sudden) We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden) We find the sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden) We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden) We find that we've lost love
Please don't push or shove because
It's too late
It's too late
In all your hurry
You've accidentally locked the gate
[Bridge]
Love's not a product you can hoard
Or pack a suitcase with
It's more a way you have to give
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Life's like a jig-saw
You get the straight bits
But there's plenty missing in the middle
[Chorus]
(All of a sudden) We find the cupboard bare
(All of a sudden) We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden) We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden) We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden) We find that we've lost love
Please don't push or shove because
(All of a sudden) We find the cupboard bare
(All of a sudden) We find Heaven's not there
(All of a sudden) We find the Sun's gone cold
(All of a sudden) We find we're more than old
(All of a sudden) We find that we've lost love
It's...
It's...
In all your hurry
You accidentally locked the gate
