Verse 1

What an idea, what a plan, d*mn man

Why am I so nervous?

Go inside, sit down and have a drink then

Maybe she likes you

And you like her, so each other, and you can laugh a bit there

There's always a choice

She looks at you

The mood suddenly gets so serious

Chorus 1

It's already late, right

What are we still doing here

It's already late, right

Do you still want your beer

Come on then let's go to my place

Verse 2

I don't get it, it was so beautiful, unreal, all of it

How time can wreck things so fast

Whole life torn up, searching for a dream tale

And I'm searching too and feel lousy

Did I lose it, or did I leave something somewhere

Just tell me where

We keep growing, if you can even call it that

We're growing further apart

Chorus 2

It's already late, right

What are we still doing here

It's already late, right

You stay here then

Then I'll head home now

Bridge

Now the door has slammed shut

Your presence disappears

My world only gets smaller

Utterly alone through stubbornness

What we forget while cursing

About the rut of so many years

Is that we whine, that we b*tch

But still in the same language

Chorus 3

It's already late, right

What are we still doing here

Come on then let's go to my place

Chorus 4

It's already late, right

What are we still doing here

It's already late, right

So finish your beer

And then we'll go to our home

SONG MEANING

Imagine it is half-past midnight in a lively Dutch bar. The singer is giving himself a pep-talk: Take a breath, walk in, order a drink, maybe she will like you! The chorus “Het is al laat toch” (It is already late) keeps reminding us that time is ticking, so take your chance. In the blink of an eye the mood flips from flirty excitement to something deeper and more serious, and the invitation changes from stay for another beer to let’s go back to my place.

As the night rolls on, that bar scene turns into a mirror for the relationship itself. What once felt magical starts to crack under routine. Doors slam, pride gets in the way, and two people who once laughed together now grow apart. Yet even while they complain and argue, they are still speaking the same language. The repeated line “Het is al laat toch” becomes both a literal last-call and a wake-up call: quit stalling, finish your drink, and fight for what matters before it is too late.
