Chorus

Better late than never
But I've been waiting, I've been waiting
I damn near wished on every star

Better late than never
I been patient, I been patient
I'll sing my way right through the dark

Verse 1

Why do we only drop tops down in the summertime?
Why do we only enshrine our brightest lights?
Maybe its discretion or maybe
Our life is more precious than our reckless condition lets (OH!)

Count the grains of sand that drop in with the tide
But do you really ever claim your patch of time (do you take the time)
To listen to the waves that play in every single second of our lives
Listen close while they subside

Verse 2

Castaway upon the ripples of miscalculation
You never plan to lose the lighthouse close to shore
Towed some burdens bigger than imagination
Stomach burnin' down my optimism's cord

How many times do I have to be reminded
Even my wildest dreams can't turn this ship around?
Don't know what I'm searching for but I'm gon' find it
Made my own beauty from being run aground
