Have I? - Lyrics

The swirling leaves
A tiny rustling cyclone
Struggling against
The fast approaching ground

The hopeful wind uplifts
Them towards their lofty dreams
All now just out of reach
Since they turned from green to brown

But the breeze soon moves on
The moment is gone
And gravity jolts them awake

And it makes me wonder
What became of those plans?
Those plans I was planning to make

Have I left it too late?
Have I left it too late?
I’ve only just begun
These things I haven’t done
Have I left it too late?
Have I left it too late?
Have I left it too late?

I ran through spring
Without a thought or care for
The gorgeous and endless
Lushness of the trees

I danced all summer long
And I stayed up every night
I scarcely felt the fall
Creeping in, cloaked in the breeze

But this air feels more cold
And this light looks more old
As the sun sets horizons ablaze

And it makes me realise
I’m just counting down
An unknown number of days

Have I left it too late?
Have I left it too late?
I’ve only just begun
These things I haven’t done
Have I left it too late?
Have I left it too late?
Have I left it too late?

All those hopes
All those dreams
What does any of it mean?

All those years
All that past
All these things that never last

All that past
All that past
Why is everything so fast?

Have I left it too late?
Have I left it too late?
I’ve only just begun
These things I haven’t done
Have I left it too late?
Have I left it too late?
Have I left it too late?
