My life is what it is now and it's a bit late for me to get down from where I'm at. I've come up here now. It's talking about the tough things that happen in the industry, and this is the life I chose, and I have to stay up with what I chose, the life."

The official music video was uploaded to YouTube on May 3, 2022, directed by Tatjana Hamilton. With strobe lights and an 80s aesthetic, it has shots of Budjerah singing in various settings.

## Lyrics

Lyrics
[Chorus]

It's too late to get down

It's too late to get down

It's too late to get down

It's too late to get down

There's no way to leave now

Too high to reach out

Guess this is me now

Get down

It's too late to get down

It's too late to get down

It's too late to get down

It's too late to get down

There's no way to leave now

Too high to reach out

Guess this is me now

[Verse 1]

If there's a way

Please show me how

If there's a secret

Let it be found

[Pre-Chorus]

(If there's a way) You could help me get down now

You could give me the know-how (Please show me how)

If it's gonna heat up

How we gonna keep on loving? (If there's a secret)

Would you care to be the one

Who's gonna hold me up? (Let it be found)

Would you care to be the one?

[Chorus]

It's too late to get down

It's too late to get down

It's too late to get down

It's too late to get down

There's no way to leave now

Too high to reach out

Guess this is me now

Get down

[Verse 2]

If there's a way

Please show me how

If there's a secret

Let it be found

[Pre-Chorus]

(If there's a way) You could help me get down now

You could give me the know-how (Please show me how)

If it's gonna heat up

How we gonna keep on loving? (If there's a secret)

Would you care to be the one

Who's gonna hold me up? (Let it be found)

Would you care to be the one?

(If there's a way) You could help me get down now

You could give me the know how (Please show me how)

If it's gonna heat up

How we gonna keep on loving? (If there's a secret)

Would you care to be the one

Who's gonna hold me up? (Let it be found)

Would you care to be the one?

[Chorus]

It's too late to get down (Too late to get down)

It's too late to get down (Too late to get down)

It's too late to get down (Too late to get down)

It's too late to get down (Too late to get down)

There's no way to leave now (No way to leave now)

Too high to reach out (Reach out)

Guess this is me now

Get down

It's too late to get down (Too late to get down)

It's too late to get down (Too late to get down)

It's too late to get down (Too late to get down)

It's too late to get down (Too late to get down)

There's no way to leave now (No way to leave now)

Too high to reach out (Reach out)

Guess this is me now

Get down
