Song Meaning of “Too Late” by Shoes
Too Late by Shoes is a song about regret, and the understanding that it might be too late to make amends and correct a past mistake. The lyrics “I wonder what I would have done had I known then the way I know now” suggest the singer is reflecting on their own bad decisions and wishing they had chosen differently. The chorus, “It’s too late, it’s too late now” highlights the weight of the singer’s regret for choices made in the past, and the idea that it is too late to turn back time and start again. This is a song about how sometimes life teaches us lessons the hard way, and how sometimes the greatest lessons are never forgotten.
