The Last Time

The last time you skipped school to smell some fresh bread

The last time that you trusted the light of a lure

The last time you said "That's enough"

The last time you said "A bit longer"

The last time you thought "Okay, now it's time to stop"

The last time that you turned the page and maybe it would've been better to change the book

And when you looked at your reflection in the eyes of those behind you to feel just a bit more ahead

The last time that you downloaded a song from eMule1

The last time that you dived in without looking down

Last times don't knock at the door

They come on you all at once

If it goes well they leave you with a bitter taste

And if it goes poorly, a scar on your face

The last time that you got drenched by someone else's rain

And it seemed like it was your song, but actually it was U22

The last time you kissed your mom while saying "I hate you"

The last time that you were so close to getting on the podium

The last time that you called some son of a bitch a friend

The kind who say "Let's split it evenly" when you just got a plain pizza

Last times don't knock at the door

They come on you all at once

If it goes well they leave you with a bitter taste

And if it goes poorly, a scar on your face

So slap me, show me how good life is as a failure, tell me off

This is my war, my feet aren't on the ground, they call me shoefiti3, wake me up

I hear the rhythm of your breath slowly start dancing again from nothing

I catch a whiff of a last time that smells like coming home from the beach when September arrives!

The last time

The last time!

Last times don't knock at the door

They come on you all at once

If it goes well they leave you with a bitter taste

And if it goes poorly, a scar on your face
