about

I started writing this song after seeing a Facebook post from my friend Savannah Welch about her son Charlie telling her "it's never too late for things to get better for anyone." I was immediately inspired by the simplicity of it, the melody came quick and the lyrics flowed. Once I was about halfway done with the song I sent it to Savannah and asked Charlie to help me finish the bridge. It was totally a magical experience and I am so honored to share it with Charlie.

This is my first ever, Bandcamp Exclusive Edition of a song. That means the album artwork designed by my co-writer, Charlie Cotton is exclusive to this version and that a portion from every sale of "It's Never Too Late" via this Bandcamp page benefits a charity. Charlie and I chose The SIMS Foundation, which has been providing access to mental health and addiction recovery services to Austin musicians and their families for over 20 years.

lyrics

Lyrics:

Sometimes you don’t wanna get out of bed
Pull the covers up and hide from the world outside your head
Darkness is always creeping around the bend
When you feel overwhelmed and tired just know you got a friend.

It’s never too late for things to get better for everyone
It’s never too late to start over and try again
The sun is always shining somewhere at least for a little while
The stars are always twinkling on the other side
So no matter how dark that it gets we can find the light

I know, that it can be hard to carry on
When the noise gets so loud and it’s hard to sing your song
But hold on, remember you’re not alone
And when your lift voice to sing that the world will sing along

It’s never too late for things to get better for everyone
It’s never too late to start over and try again
The sun is always shining somewhere at least for a little while
The stars are always twinkling on the other side
So no matter how dark that it gets we can find the light

It’s never been more important to take care of each other
Take the time to understand
We’re all in this together and love is the power that holds us when we can’t hold each other’s hand
And we can sing this together no matter where we stand

It’s never too late for things to get better for everyone
It’s never too late to start over and try again
The sun is always shining somewhere at least for a little while
The stars are always twinkling on the other side
So no matter how dark that it gets we can find the light

It’s never too late for things to get better for everyone
It’s never too late to start over and try again
The sun is always shining somewhere at least for a little while
The stars are always twinkling on the other side
So no matter how dark that it gets we can find the light
