Because This Is How We Speak
I would say that we saw this comingIf I thought it would change a thingBut at some point, we all stop runningSome finish the race while some save their strengthAnd a day is coming soon when the banner of youthWill be dropped somewhere betweenWriting songs in our parents' basementAnd basing our lives on what they meanSo if this is the last timeLeave it all under these lightsWe've played out our lives on these stagesJust to be buried with pages of songs left unsungThis is the last timeGive us something to take homeA last line to singCause these half empty glassesWith stress cracks and fracturesCan only grow so weakBefore they break and spill out a dead languageThat we've forgotten how to speakAnd this is the last timeWe'll all hang for the same crimeWe buried the axe in the walls of these old village hallsLetras de cancionesJust to claim that we were thereAnd this is the last timeBetter to sink than to yieldBetter to lay down the shieldBetter to claim what we canThan be surprised when it endsBetter to guess where we're goingThe glass house before the throwingBetter to know when to runThen face what we all becomeSo raise, raise your glass to the onesWho gave their youthSo we could sing alongAnd this is the last timeYou'll hear me apologizeI'll be that rope that you tiedAround your wrist to remind youWhat idle hands have doneAnd this is the last timeAnd this is the last time
