The Last Time Lyrics

I held you so high above, thought that's where you should be
But you lost your head in the clouds and lost sight of me
Said I's your only one then ran to everyone else
I'm just a book that you love to read when you pull it from the shelf

That's the last time I go out of my way to stand in front of your kiss
Last time I quietly lay under your fingertips
Last time I hold you close just to say we are friends
Last time I'll be there for you until you need me again

So go ahead and judge this old fool but you won't see me cry
I've got the softest of wool pulled over my eyes
I can swallow my pride, I can shrug off my pain
But I can't leave you behind when you call out my name

And I feel a little numb and dumb but that's my fault
When you know you're gonna land on your head have fun with the fall

That's the last time I go out of my way to stand in front of your kiss
Last time I quietly lay under your fingertips
Last time I hold you close just to say we are friends
Last time I'll be there for you until you need me again.

Steak Night at the Prairie Rose

I held you so high above, thought that's where you should be
But you lost your head in the clouds and lost sight of me
Said I's your only one then ran to everyone else
I'm just a book that you love to read when you pull it from the shelf

That's the last time I go out of my way to stand in front of your kiss
Last time I quietly lay under your fingertips
Last time I hold you close just to say we are friends
Last time I'll be there for you until you need me again

So go ahead and judge this old fool but you won't see me cry
I've got the softest of wool pulled over my eyes
I can swallow my pride, I can shrug off my pain
But I can't leave you behind when you call out my name

And I feel a little numb and dumb but that's my fault
When you know you're gonna land on your head have fun with the fall

That's the last time I go out of my way to stand in front of your kiss
Last time I quietly lay under your fingertips
Last time I hold you close just to say we are friends
Last time I'll be there for you until you need me again.

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
