mary chapin carpenter - late for your life (live - one night lonely) lyrics

[verse 1]
you’ve been sayin’ for the longest time
that the time has come
you’ve been talking like you’re of a mind
to get some changing done
maybe move out of the city
find some quiet little town
where you can sit out on your back porch step
and watch the sun go down

[pre+chorus]
no one knows where they belong
the search just goes on and on and on
for every choice that ends up wrong
another one’s right

[chorus]
a change of scene would sure be grеat
the thought is nice to contemplatе
but the question begs why would you wait
and be late for your life

[verse 2]
now you might never find that perfect town
but the sun still sets on a rooftop where the city sounds
like a gershwin clarinet
and you might still be searching every face
for one you can’t forget
well, love is out there in a stranger’s clothes
you just haven’t met him yet
[pre+chorus]
no one knows where they belong
the search just goes on and on and on
for every day that ends up wrong
another one’s right

[chorus]
call it chance or call it fate
either one is cause to celebrate
still the question begs why would you wait
and be late for your life

call it chance, babe, call it fate
either one is cause to celebrate
and the question now is why would you wait
don’t be late for your life
