the last time

the first time that i saw you

i

wanted you to be the beat

to my bass line

and maybe we could make a melody

but the lyrics came

and they said no

don't go

you'd be better off

making this duet a solo

i've seen the sheet music

and i think it's kinda strange

that we'd make it to the bridge

thinkin' we might find a key change

but the last time you said you loved me

i heard our love as a song

the harmonies were all wrong

but

baby

i didn't mind

until we got to the second verse

we ran all out of words

and that beat skipped

skipped

all out of time

but my record was a hit

we were only a hit in my mind

but stupid me

i believed

the last three words of the last line

but that's fine

that'll be the last time

but the last time you said you loved me

i heard our love as a song

the harmonies were all wrong

but

baby

i didn't mind

until we got to the second verse

we ran all out of words

and that beat skipped

skipped

all out of time

but my record was a hit

we were only a hit in my mind

but stupid me

i believed

the last three words of the last line

but that's fine

that'll be the last time

the last time

the first time that i saw you

i

wanted you to be the beat
