Before It Is Too Late

Goo Goo Dolls · Other Songs - Goo Goo Dolls

I wandered through fiction

The look for the truth

Buried beneath all the lies

I stood at a distance to feel who you are

Hiding myself in your eyes



Hold on before it's too late

Or until we leave this behind

Don't fall just be who you are

It's all that we need in our lives



Now the miss that might break

Is the one that would save

A life you don't live is still lost

So stand on the edge with me

Hold back your fear and see

Nothing is real til it's gone



Hold on before it's too late

Or until we leave this behind

Don't fall just be who you are

It's all that we need in our lives



So live like you mean it

And love til you feel it

It's all that we need in our lives

Stand on the edge with me

Hold back your fear and see

nothing is real til its gone



Hold on before it's too late

Or until we leave this behind

Don't fall just be who you are

It's all that we need in our lives



It's all that I need in my life
