Lyrics Soul Asylum

Soul Asylum

Never Too Soon

Now you're bad and leaving home

'Cause you say there's no one there for you to talk to

Isn't it nice to go outside

When you know there is no place you have to walk to

You can live alone inside a crowded room

Consume or you will be consumed

And it's never, never too late, never too soon

Put on your frown and go downtown

When you wait in line to find your mind is blown

You have come a long, long way

Even though you have no idea where you're going

You ain't done a goddamn thing all afternoon

Your confidence is sinking like a lead balloon

And it's never, never too late, never too soon

I can't calm down, I can't come down

I can't come down, I can't calm down

I can't grow up, I can't give up

It's not your fault and it's not mine

Like I'm asking you to hold up the sky

All the things you held so high

Are you surprised to find that now they add to nothing

Now you're growing old and bold

Do you think that maybe you could teach me something

There is nothing that you really can assume

But you could be the wallflower in someone's room

And it's never, never too late, never too soon

Now you're mad, I know you're mad

Now you're mad, I know you're mad

Why don't you just tell someone

It's not like you're the only one

It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky

I can teach you how to try

You can teach me how to lie

Hush my darling don't you cry

This could be your lullaby

Never, never too late
