Lyrics
You say tonight is the last time I'll see you but I'm not so sure I agree.
Six years is such a long time and I don't know if I can just let you go free.
Long distance lovers are stronger than others but they have a strength I can't find.
To not see your face or your bare skin in lace will never seem right in my mind.
Everyone talks about last goodbyes but by then I'll already be dead.
It's the last hello that worries me.
I'll take last chances over last glances any old year of my life.
We've been through smiles and sadness and sorrows and stop signs and sweetness and strife.
Everyone talks about last goodbyes but by then I won't know who I am.
It's the last hello that worries me.
Take time to make time to think about what you've begun.
Everyone knows us as the same person. You'll take us to two from one.
I wait by the door and if it's just you who walks through that'd be fine.
But I know you'll walk through that door hand in hand with a talk that you can't keep inside.
Everyone talks about last goodbyes but what scares me to death comes before.
It's the last hello that worries me.
