The Last Song

from Something True by Jimmy Sky

/

about

'The Last Song' was written in 2017 while on holiday overlooking a waterfront. Put simply, this is a love song, an homage to lives lived and love lost.

lyrics

You light up a smoke
I know what it means
When you pull it like that
You tell me it's better
Than doing heroin or crack
So maybe I'm crazy
But I swear you're amazing
And my only religion
Is to die with a smile
In your arms

Cause I don't want to live here
Anymore
If it isn't with you

You didn't like the joke
You somehow included
My soul in that
You promised me
Hell and purgatory
And back
I know I'm a child
I'm fragile and I'm wild
If I hear another word
About that other boy
I'll shatter in two

Cause I don't want to live here
Anymore
If it isn't with you
No I don't want to lie here
Anymore
If it isn't with you
Said I don't want to be here
Anymore
If it isn't with you
No I don't want to cry here
Anymore
If it isn't with you

Like a full moon
Like a full moon I'm unfair
Hiding my green-eyed stare
Honey I want to be here
But it's out of my hands
My heart just loves you
My heart's just ripping
Right out of my chest

It can't be helped
You said it yourself
The universe made
Two beautiful people
In incompatible trade
And I say it every time
It's the last song I'll devise
But another one's bleeding
Like ink from my eyes

Cause I don't want to feel love
Anymore
If it isn't for you
And I don't want to feel pain
Anymore
If it isn't from you
No I don't want to breathe
No not at all
If it isn't with you
No I don't want to live here
Anymore
If it isn't with you
