| If this were my last song
|
| Would you listen closer?
|
| If this were my last song
|
| Would you lean in?
|
| If this were my last song
|
| Would you hum along?
|
| If this were my last song
|
| Would you try to remember everything?
|
| The shape of my neck, everything
|
| The size of my breasts, everything
|
| The things you dislike, everything
|
| My ego, my pride, everything
|
| The sound of my scream, everything
|
| The breath in between everything
|
| The first song before everything
|
| If this were my last song
|
| I might just sing louder
|
| If this were my last song
|
| I would ask the band to slow it down
|
| If this were my last song
|
| We’d sing harmonies
|
| If this were my last song
|
| I would try to tell you everything
|
| The times that I lied, everything
|
| The days that I cried, everything
|
| The lovers I knew, everything
|
| My hungry nights too, everything
|
| My grandmothers brave, everything
|
| The last time I prayed, everything
|
| The first song before everything
|
| If this were my last song
|
| If this were my last song
|
| I’d thank the room,
|
| The air and hearts around me
|
| I’d breathe deeper and deeper
|
| And hold the notes for a while |
