Jill Sobule - The Last Line lyrics

Far away, another time

I was yours and you were mine

Entwined we spiraled down so far together

Smoke and mirrors and rolled up bills

We had it all and then more still

But it was not enough to last forever

It was the last line

It was never as good as it felt as it burst

For the first time

Oh but how we tried

Up till the last line

Hopes and dreams and promises

We talked of real estate and kids

We stayed in bed all day and half the night

But blinded by the disco ball

Locked inside the bathroom stall

You yelled at me

You thought I lost the vial

It was the last line

You were never as sweet as you were

When we kissed for the first time

Oh but how we tried

Up till the last line

Searching for a speck of dust

Just enough for both of us

I knew our love was over

You couldn't share

It was the last line

It was never as good as it felt as it burst

For the first time

Oh but how we tried

Up to the last line

Oh how we tried

Up till the last line
