"Last Word" lyrics
Thought you knew me better than that
Where we're at, I don't expect much
Not even eye contact
We'll see how long this takes
Not here, not now
But I've been hunting you down
Every corner, I'm waiting like a heavy cloud
In a Florida summer afternoon
Don't think I didn't hear
What your friend said over twenty beers
And a half-lit cigarette last year
In a backyard half a block from here
And now is the time I choose
You should know by now, that's how I do
When I'm double-fisting pride and booze
Thinking I got nothing left to lose
Now they're waiting outside, can't say I didn't try
I'll stay here as long as you let me
I'll be here when you're ready
Think I might be better off without you running your mouth
You said I bit the hand that fed me
Think I've heard enough already
Don't you?
I do
Take a seat
You know the difference between him and me
Is that I won't repeat
What the little birdie told me
His tired tongue and cold feet
Won't say it to my face now, will he?
But don't think I didn't hear
What your friend said over twenty beers
And a half-lit cigarette last year
In a backyard half a block from here
And now is the time I choose
You should know by now, that's how I do
When I'm double-fisting pride and booze
Thinking I got nothing left to lose
Now they're waiting outside, can't say I didn't try
I'll stay here as long as you let me
I'll be here when you're ready
Think I might be better off without you running your mouth
You said I bit the hand that fed me
Think I've heard enough already
Don't you?
'Cause you know I'll
Say it to your face, put you in your place
Set the record straight, know that I communicate directly
Tell it to me now, the when, the where, the how
Doubt that without that, we could both move on smoothly
Say it to your face, put you in your place
Set the record straight, know that I communicate directly
Tell it to me now, the when, the where, the how
Doubt that without that, we could both move on smoothly
Well, it seems the more I ask, the less I know
Can you at least say bye before you go?
You should go, go, go
Oh, I'll stay long as you let me
You'll come get me when you're ready, won't you?
Where we're at, I don't expect much
Not even eye contact
We'll see how long this takes
Not here, not now
But I've been hunting you down
Every corner, I'm waiting like a heavy cloud
In a Florida summer afternoon
Don't think I didn't hear
What your friend said over twenty beers
And a half-lit cigarette last year
In a backyard half a block from here
And now is the time I choose
You should know by now, that's how I do
When I'm double-fisting pride and booze
Thinking I got nothing left to lose
Now they're waiting outside, can't say I didn't try
I'll stay here as long as you let me
I'll be here when you're ready
Think I might be better off without you running your mouth
You said I bit the hand that fed me
Think I've heard enough already
Don't you?
I do
Take a seat
You know the difference between him and me
Is that I won't repeat
What the little birdie told me
His tired tongue and cold feet
Won't say it to my face now, will he?
But don't think I didn't hear
What your friend said over twenty beers
And a half-lit cigarette last year
In a backyard half a block from here
And now is the time I choose
You should know by now, that's how I do
When I'm double-fisting pride and booze
Thinking I got nothing left to lose
Now they're waiting outside, can't say I didn't try
I'll stay here as long as you let me
I'll be here when you're ready
Think I might be better off without you running your mouth
You said I bit the hand that fed me
Think I've heard enough already
Don't you?
'Cause you know I'll
Say it to your face, put you in your place
Set the record straight, know that I communicate directly
Tell it to me now, the when, the where, the how
Doubt that without that, we could both move on smoothly
Say it to your face, put you in your place
Set the record straight, know that I communicate directly
Tell it to me now, the when, the where, the how
Doubt that without that, we could both move on smoothly
Well, it seems the more I ask, the less I know
Can you at least say bye before you go?
You should go, go, go
Oh, I'll stay long as you let me
You'll come get me when you're ready, won't you?
