"The Last Song Ever Written" lyrics

This is the last song that was ever written
After this, nothing will rhyme
This is the last time that you'll ever see us
After this, you're gonna go blind
This is the last time that there'll be a last time
You'll wake up to the day without end
This is the last time that you're gonna lose someone
After this, it's you and your friends
It's you and your friends

This is the last song that was ever written
Melody is over and done
All of the words we sing erase each other
You only need songs when you're young
There was a strange goodbye outside the station
There was a letter three weeks later in the mail
Maybe we didn't know we knew you 'til we lost you
You tried to leave us all alone, we wish you had failed

We're gonna sing a song without words
And a tune you haven't heard in a long time
Not since the year you were two
And she sang to you in the wintertime
And it goes la la la la

Open your window
There's no one behind me
You'll come to me one day
They won't take you away
I'll wake in the morning
You'll stand in the doorway
I'm here now, I'm here now
We're all standing so proud
Until you can come to the place where they'll take you

Don't open your window
There's no one behind me
You'll come to me one day
They won't take you away
I'll wake in the morning
And stand in the doorway
I'm here now, I'm here now
And I'll stand here so proud
Until you can come to the place where they'll take you
