Lyrics

It all comes down to timing
A moment seized or missed
Like a spool of thread unwinding
Like a mystery with a twist
When it had to be the butler
The parson or ingénue
The doctor or the chauffeur
Or maybe it was you
But it's alright
It's not too late
It's just gonna take as long
As it's gonna take
Now, it doesn't matter
You don't have to think it through
That movie's old and faded
And there's nothing more to do
Some things don't have an answer
Just the meaning that we make
By playing out the cards
And wrestling with grace
But it's alright
It's not too late
It's just gonna take as long
As it's gonna take
I've been circling a sparkler
Like a signal in the deep
My pocket's full of ghosts
That have finally gone to sleep
On a train to old Chicago
An alley behind the bar
The clues were barely hidden
I'd already come this far
But the hero didn't show up
The inspector blew the case
So, I'm picking up the pieces
And putting them in place
And since we're being honest
I don't know how this book ends
I'm just following my nose
With a notebook and a pen
But it's alright
It's not too late
It's just gonna take as long
As it's gonna take
But it's alright
It's not too late
It's just gonna take as long
As it's gonna take
