Ben Shive - A Last Time for Everything

 
0
Copied!

{Verse}
We're running out of fear and doubt
And we're low on loneliness
And long goodbyes are in short supply
We're coming to the bitters' end
Tired of the letdowns cause they never let up
When learning to do without is all that you ever get enough of

{Chorus}
Well, there is a last time
There's a last time for everything, Ohh oh
Yeah, there's a last time for everything
Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh

{Verse}
Then what of this earthly life?
It's a beating sustained by a knot of nerves and veins
A trembling choir
We are born to pass away and nothing gold can stay
I'm a dwindling fire. Yes, I am
And the seasons spin around as I'm breathing in and out
And ever my heart is pounding the steady unstoppable countdown

{Chorus}
Counting down to the last time
There's a last time for everything, Ooh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Yeah, there's a last time for everything
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Ooo-oo
Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo

{Bridge}
You have to look death in the eye, in the eye
Ohh, you need to see what's hidden there, what's hidden there
You have to look him in the eye, yeah, in the eye
Ohh, you need to see that he's afraid to die
Yeah, he's afraid to die
But you my love

{Verse}
You're gonna wake up soon in your lonely room
To the sound of a singin' bird
And throw the curtain back to find your bags already packed
And the cab is at the curb, Ooo-oo-oo
And like a bad dream unreal in the morning light
So will the world seem when you see it in the mirror for the last time

{Chorus}
Yeah, cause there is a last time
Say there's last time for everything
There is a last time, singin' Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo
Yeah, there is a last time
Say there's last time for everything
There is a last time, singin' Ooo-oo-oo-oo-oo
