The Last Hour Lyrics

Cover art for The Last Hour lyrics by Elliott Smith

I want to clarify one of the lines: "one way love I took for ours"

I'm not sure who these lyrics are directed towards but it seems like he is talking about an unrequited relationship that only he cares about.

"i'm through trying now it's a big relief i'll be staying down where no one else gonna give me grief "

those four lines suggest that he is going to give up on all relationships. If you think about it, it could also be a reference to suicide. I know that not all songs are about suicide but this song is one of the few that imply it.
