Introduction
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on us, doesn’t it? One moment, we’re lost in the thrill of youthful love, making promises we think we have forever to keep. The next, we’re looking back, wondering where the time went. “So Late So Soon” is one of those songs that feels like a quiet whisper to the heart—a bittersweet reflection on love, loss, and the way time moves faster than we ever expect.
This song carries the weight of nostalgia, painting a picture of love that once burned brightly but slowly faded, not because of betrayal or anger, but simply because life has its way of changing things. The lyrics tug at that deep, unspoken ache we all feel when we realize that something beautiful has slipped through our fingers. It’s not just a breakup song—it’s a song about the passage of time, about how even the most precious moments can become memories before we’re ready to let them go.
Musically, “So Late So Soon” embraces a soft, melancholic melody that complements its heartfelt storytelling. There’s a simplicity in the arrangement that allows the emotions to shine through—perhaps a gentle acoustic guitar, a subtle piano line, and a voice that carries the weight of longing and regret. It’s the kind of song that makes you close your eyes and remember.
For anyone who’s ever loved and lost, for those who’ve watched time slip away too quickly, “So Late So Soon” is a song that speaks straight to the soul. It reminds us to cherish love while it’s here, to hold on a little tighter, and to never take time for granted—because all too often, by the time we realize what we had, it’s already too late

Lyrics
We drank all the wine
And we burned all the candles to the ground
We danced to every dance they played ’til silence seemed to be the only sound
And I could’ve sworn not long ago
The sun was only starting to go down
But when did all the stars
Fade just like the moon?
And how’d it get so late so soon?
Twilight was just leaving
When the first kiss of the evening got us high
And time stood at a standstill when the whole world just stopped for you and I
And that last kiss you gave me, baby, just lit up the sky
When did that early bird
Start singing his first tune?
How’d it get so late so soon?
Oh, I could’ve sworn not long ago
The sun was only starting to go down
But when did all the stars
Fade just like the moon?
When did that early bird
Start singing his first tune?
And how’d it get so late so soon?
