Better Late Than Never – Kenn Cassius

Verse 1
My heart’s racin’ like a stolen car
Shirt's untucked I’ve run so far
The clock’s a thief, it’s taken my pride
But I’m here now so please can we rewind

[Pre-chorus]
Your eyes cut sharp like a neon knife
Your smirk says it all, I must be skatin’ on thin ice

Chorus
Better late than never I said with a grin
You shook your head but let me in
I may not be on time but I’m here to stay
Better late than never won’t you give me today
Better late than never
Better late than never

Verse 2
Your heels tap out a tickin’ sound
My excuses are scatterin’ all around
The candle’s half-melt but it still glows
Your patience burns but it never shows

Pre-chorus
You roll your eyes like a roulette spin
But your laugh betrays oh where we begin

Chorus
Better late than never I said with a grin
You shook your head but let me in
I may not be on time but I’m here to stay
Better late than never won’t you give me today
Better late than never
Better late than never

Pre-Bridge
The streetlights blinked
A countdown dare
Sweat on my brow
Wind in my hair

Bridge
I ran through the city like a man on fire
Dodgin’ taxis with my Sunday best attire
My clock laughed loud, like a joker
Its hands spun faster, and faster
Every second felt like my last

Chorus
Better late than never I said with a grin
You shook your head but let me in
I may not be on time but I’m here to stay
Better late than never won’t you give me today
Better late than never
Better late than never

Chorus
Better late than never
That’s what I said
Heart pounding harder than the words I read
You looked at me with a smirk so clever
“Why are you late?” Better late than never

Chorus
Better late than never, that’s my line
You shook your head, but your hand found mine
You whispered softly, “You’re lucky Whatever”
I grinned and said,
Better late than never
