Last Time Lyrics

Last time I saw you I was fresh from failure

And I tried to hide it

And I said I couldn't stay

When I said I was fine, I was lyin'

I'd been inside out for days

Oh, then it seemed as though

I couldn't get anywhere

Try as I might to swim against these waves

And last time we had lunch I felt so insecure

I laughed at all my own jokes

You know I laughed so hard at them

And then later I learned

That the pedestal I had built for you was crumblin'

Guess I had been blind or denyin'

Oh, many years ago, I would have followed you anywhere

Now it seems that memory, well

It hangs like a ghost in the air

Now it seems that memory, well

It hangs like a ghost in the air

I guess I was excited

Just to be inside your circle

I forgot what binds us

Is that ever-present hurdle

We hide, oh we hide

And we keep ourselves so safe

We keep ourselves so safe
