"I'm late, but I'm here right now / Though I used to be romantic / I forgot somehow / Time can make you blind / But I see you now / As we're laying in the darkness / Did I wait too long / To turn the lights back on?" Joel sings.
The song was written by Freddy Wexler, Arthur Bacon, Wayne Hector and Joel.
Joel is set to perform at Sunday night's 2024 Grammy Awards.
