  • This life
    Keeps moving on
    And we're going away
    Before too long

    So tell your friends
    Just how ya feel
    You better say it loud
    For the world to hear

    Cause it's getting late
    Time to go
    The paper moon
    Is fading slow
    But the night
    It keeps moving on
    And it takes you in
    It brings you home

    While you're watching over
    The moments that make up your life

    Well it's getting late
    That's the way it is
    You can't deny
    When it feels like this
    And it's strange
    What it's bringing out
    You're gonna open up
    Cause you can't stop now
    Oh you can't stop now

    Well it's getting late
    You don't know how
    You're wide awake
    And you're missing out
    You get your kicks
    While you can
    Then you go to work
    To pay the man

    While you're watching over
    The moments that make up your life, alright

    It's getting late
    It's getting late
    Well it's getting late, oh yeah
    It's getting late Writer/s: ROBERT THOMAS

  • Andrea from Eau Galle, WiThis song was wrote about his dog his dog needed to be walked and keep scratching at the door to go out. he didnt want to walk him and was in a bad mood for no reason. after the dog was done he looked up at Rob with big eyes and had a little doggy smile. Then he realized that his dog knew more about life than he did and he should make the best of what it is and not let it pass by. So he wrote this song about his dog.
