The Last Time

The Last Time is a nod to those times when we’re swept away in a moment of escape from reality, such as rekindling an old flame on the dance floor. It seems real at the moment but upon reflection we realize that it’s not the real thing, just a “fantasy gone wrong,” and must be left behind.

Lyrics

We meet again here
Old friends on the dance floor
And as you hold me
That old thrill begins to rise

Chorus
In the still of the night
My heart knows it’s just not right
Yet I take your hand
Like the last time
And hold it tight

I try to stop there
The same as before
But this time is different
As we move across the floor
Chorus

We’ll go away dear
With heavy hearts here
Knowing real life
Is not a favorite love song
It’s all wrong

Though barely started
You’re so broken hearted
It’s not the real thing
Just a fantasy gone wrong

Final chorus
In the still of the night
My heart knows it’s just not right
Yet I take your hand like the last time
And hold it tight
Now I take your hand for the last time
And hold you tight, hold you tight
