Lyrics
Last One To Know
©2012 Stephen Wyatt
throw me a line I want you to drag me down
send me an S.O.S. and I'll turn this boat around
shoot your arrow miss my heart by half a mile
but send me a message from your lips and make me smile
I'll be the last one to know
just what it is you mean to me
then the cold wind will blow
send me drifting back to sea
lose yourself so I can find you all over again
bleeding in camouflage makes it hard to see the pain
pull me closer just to feel all the beautiful space in between
drop into the chasm babe you know the truth cuts deep and clean
I'll be the last one to know
just what it is you mean to me
when the long night is over
I'll just pretend I'm where I want to be
well I can see the future when I look into your eyes
but it won't make sense in present tense until we cease the lies
look at my reflection just a sketch of gray outline
but it's an open door and looking for a heart beats like mine
I'll be the last one to know...
leave me alone so I can long for you to smother me
give me a chance and deal the odds at a hundred to three
set me free so I can scale the walls of my prison cell
it's part of the problem babe you know it's love with a capital 'L'
don't be the last one to know
what it is you mean to me
we are one heart and soul
cradled in the hands of destiny
