Never Too Late

Isn't it strange to hear the silence?
Isn't it wrong for you and I?
Don't you think that we could stop this violence?
Never too late, it seems, to try

Never too late for changing your mind
Never too late for making up lost time
Never too late to leave it all behind
Never too late to make the changes in your mind

Couldn't we even talk together - why couldn't we?
Wouldn't it be more sane not to lie?
It makes me feel we're only halfway there
Never too late, it seems, to try

Never too late for changing your mind
Never too late for making up lost time
Never too late to leave it all behind
Never too late to make the changes in your mind

Peter Cross is the songwriter and the singer.

Commentary:

I had a very weird experience with this song. After I wrote it, I thought I had a good shot at a hit because my melody was very catchy and I repeated the heck out of the title (apparently I thought that repetition alone would do it). I remember lying on the public beach in Mamaroneck, N.Y., listening to the radio, and all of a sudden a song came on that had the exact same chorus as mine! I almost lost it and actually believed that I had been ripped off, but then I realized that nobody had ever heard my song because I hadn't even recorded it yet! I really DID hear my chorus on the radio, and whatever I heard is still a mystery. I don't think the song is all that good now. It's just interesting. It's yet another one of my songs about having some sort of communication problem with a lover, and that's a theme I really beat to death until I found those tragic themes that no other songwriters touch - for very good reasons.
