it's the last, the very last
of things I hide from you
I'll hold the door for memories
and here they come
they come in pairs, yours and mine
like lovers on a beach
I'll watch them for the rest of my days
from my boat, adrift
surely I warned you
surely it doesn't count
if I blame myself for knowing
what I can live without
and now
this is the last, the very last
of things I write for you
I lie for a living, don't you know?
but this is true
I walk on waters, heavy and light
like nothing you've ever seen
I'll watch you for the rest of my days
under stars' neon signs
surely I warned you
surely it doesn't count
if I blame myself for knowing
what I can live without
