lyrics

I tried to build you a house out of pieces of paper
brought you breakfast in bed, just in time for supper
you got to wait, baby
I know it feels like forever
but it's better when it's late
better late than never

I'll walk a thousand miles to see you once I get up off my seat
I'll bake you a loaf of bread but first I gotta plant the wheat
you've got to wait, baby
I know it seems like forever
but it's better when it's late
better late than never

I'll pay you back, dime by dime
I'm studying all night to try to pass the test of time
never state my reasons, I'm to busy with the rhyme
never reach the mountain top, all I do is climb

I fell asleep with you one night, and I'm still falling
I'm going deep with you baby, it just looks like I'm stalling
we got to wait
I hope this lasts forever
'cause it's better when it's late
better late than never
