Last Time

Verse 1

I’m never with you when I’m with you
Not like when I was a kid and days seemed to last forever

Pre-Chorus 1

Playing catch on the front lawn
Catching frogs in the back pond
I couldn’t know it then
You never know it when

Chorus 1

It’s the last time—never know it’s the last time
Before you’re out of time and just looking back
It’s so easy always chasin’ the next ride
Lookin’ for the next hill to climb
Never knowin’ what we had

Verse 2

Why am I always thinking of leaving?
Not like back in high school, nights would last forever

Pre-Chorus 2

Drinking beer on the pavement
Makin’ out in your friend’s parent’s basement
We didn’t know it then
You never know it when

Chorus 2

It’s the last time—when it’s the last time
Until you’re out of time and just looking back
We’re so fast running after the next thrill
Always tryin’ to get our fill
Never knowin’ what we had

Bridge

Mom she calls on Wednesday
But you’re caught up in your own way
Falling big for all the smallest things
But what if this was the last time?
Would you stay longer on the line?
Would you say what’s really on your mind?

Chorus 3

Last time—never know when it’s the last time
Until you’re just looking back, remembering what you had
We’re always moving, reachin’ up to the next rung
Never thinking what we’re losin’
‘Til what’s here is gone

Chorus Repeat

Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhh
Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhh
Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhh
Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhh

Solo

(Last time) (Last time)
(Never know it’s the last time, ‘til it’s gone)
(Last time) (Last time)
(Never know it’s the last time, ‘til it’s gone)
