Too Late Lyrics English Translation – Standing Egg

(Verse 1)
You’ve changed—I noticed right away.
Honestly, it took me by surprise.
You felt so unfamiliar in this light,
I almost didn’t recognize.

(Pre-Chorus)
Since we went our separate ways,
The first time we meet, face to face.
An awkward tremor, a silent beat—
I just let you walk past me down the street.

(Chorus)
Give me a moment, just a little time.
There’s something I’ve been meaning to say for a while.
Oh baby, why tonight?
Why can’t I even call your name out right?
And why do these tears start falling now?

(Verse 2)
I knew that someday, sure as sky is blue,
My path would cross again with you.
But I didn’t know it’d be today,
In such an ordinary, unpoetic way.

(Verse 3)
With my dazed face, my work-clothes look,
While you stood there, holding a book.
You even smelled like some fine scent—
In your eyes, how was I present?

(Bridge)
I want to stay inside your mind
As just a good memory, gentle and kind.
But do you ever, now and then,
Remember how we shined back when?
We didn’t have a single care,
Just sunlight tangled in our hair.

(Chorus)
Give me a moment, just a little time.
Our younger days, in their sweet prime.
Why tonight, why so late, why now,
Do these tears begin to fall somehow?

(Outro)
Give me time…
Just a little time…
Why tonight…
