Before It's Too Late

I was watching "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" where one of the themes running through the movie was age, but more specifically time. That there is never enough of it... but also that it's never too late or too early to do something or change your mind. In all I thought it was a fantastic movie.

"Before It's Too Late", by the Goo Goo Dolls, comes from a totally different type of movie, but this track really ties in well. One of the highlights of the Transformers movie was the soundtrack (I was really bummed at much of the way Bay "updated" the Transformers). But possibly one of the more powerful lines to have come out of a movie for quite some time, "Fifty years from now, when you're looking back at your life, don't you want to be able to say you had the guts to get in the car?" I think people fear things way too much... just do it.

I wander through fiction to look for the truth
Buried beneath all the lies
and I stood at a distance
To feel who you are
Hiding myself in your eyes

And

hold on before it's too late
We'll run till we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

and the risk that might break you
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
We'll run till 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
Love 'til you feel it
It's all that we need in our lives
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
We'll run till we leave this behind
Don't fall just be who you are
It's all that we need in our lives

hold on before it's too late
We'll run till 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 we need in our lives
It's all that I need in my life

Because some day it may just be too late.
