The Last Dance Lyrics

Part one

I Left A Box With a Letter At Your Doorstep

Part two

Holding Our Love In My Tender Hands

When your world is filled with black

And there's no turning back

A lit cigarette

In the back of your car

We didn't smoke it cuz' it was a waste of time

And I couldn't help but agree

And the lungs weren't much on an incentive

I stopped yelling

Even when you were far away

Because of something

That happened when you were a kid

Press go on the car

It's electric

I don't understand it

I don't think you do either

(Winter, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring, then you're gone and you'll come back then you're gone…)

Part three

2:57 AM

I think we're both so afraid of

being alone

That we pretend we are

To feel less when It happens

In my dream I thought you hated me

I pretended it was reality

Send it along

Scream along

And you tried to hide

(I DON'T WANT TO BE ALONEEE)

Part four

Words Through a Filter

You seem really done my love

What is the price of love, my love?

It's been two years

And I still haven't felt your skin

That seems like a lot of work my love

Your love is a spectrum

Filled with every colour

Shimmering shining

Your love is a spectrum

Filled with every colour

And unbanned website in my youth corrupted me

And now I'll never fall in love again

Part four and a half

2:57 AM reprise

I think we're both so afraid of being alone

That we pretend we are

To feel less when It happens

In my dream I thought you hated me

I pretended it was reality

Send it along

Scream along

And you tried to hide

Part Five

Ducks in a Dirty Pond in the Gravel

To you

I could give you everything you need

I could give you everything you want

I can make you reap all you seed

And we can make each other see that we'll never be attached

No matter how much we plead to be

And we can make each other need to be together again

But that ship has sailed

No matter how much we view each other's stories

When we rest our pretty heads upon our silk pillows

We will know a freedom not of joy

But of sadness

But free nonetheless

And I pray for all the shame in me

That you feel no pain

And I pray with all the lack of religious fervor

That you feel no pain

And I pray with all the children that have never done wrong

But shunned by the one in their comfort

That you feel no pain

Because I love you

Because I wanted to

Because I promised you that…

I love you

(Fuck I don't even know where to start) (Fuck.)

To me:

And to myself in my own hormonal tendency:

Why you?

Why anyone?

Why this moment

If not to teach you what you deserve and all you want?

Now is all you have to learn

Now is all you can learn

And now is all you need to learn

And if you lay those forsaken hands upon your life aquatic

Then what have you even learned?

And you deserve all you have gone through

Without my own regret

Why should you expect them to love you

If you cannot love your art?

Why should you expect them to love you

If you hate yourself?

Your love is what you deserve

I despise you for believing love comes without your own love invested

I despise you for every ounce of love you did not give

Being too afraid of getting hurt

And I despise you

Because I see every wrong-doing you do

Because I know you

Because I am you

To us:

When you see your love for all it is:

We are nothing but two teenagers who sexted

We are nothing but two people

Who truly loved one another

But could not love together

And I am nothing but someone

Who is afraid of themselves

And I am not responsible for someone else's sobriety

And you are nothing but someone

Who was hurt as a child

And is now obsessed with abuse and Deftones

And I am nothing but a man

Afraid of becoming one

Because I do not feel as one

We are nothing but two people who may be perfect but cannot do so together

And when you see your love for all it is:

You are in a wide sea of colours

And I'm hidden in them

VI. The Letter Atop the Box

There's a photo of us, but it's not real

We never met, we were just in love

And sorry if I already said this earlier but

I just wanted you

In my dream…

We're not kissing

I'm not inside you

We're just holding each other

But I woke up…
