Last Word

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 20 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? Don't think I didn't hear (What your friend) said over 20 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?
