Last Song

If this were my last song

Would you listen closer?

If this were my last song

Would you lean in?

If this were my last song

Would you hum along?

If this were my last song

Would you try to remember everything?The shape of my neck, everything

The size of my breasts, everythingThe things you dislike, everything

My ego, my pride, everything

The sound of my scream, everything

The breath in between everything

The first song before everything

If this were my last song

I might just sing louder

If this were my last song

I would ask the band to slow it down

If this were my last song

We'd sing harmonies

If this were my last song

I would try to tell you everythingThe times that I lied, everything

The days that I cried, everything

The lovers I knew, everything

My hungry nights too, everything

My grandmothers brave, everything

The last time I prayed, everything

The first song before everything

If this were my last song

If this were my last song

I'd thank the room,

The air and hearts around me

I'd breathe deeper and deeper

And hold the notes for a while
