Story Behind The Song

Runs into lost love who he thought he was finally over.

Lyrics

The Last Time Again

I never would have noticed her
if she hadn't called my name
Her voice cut through the heat like a tear
but she didn't look the same
I rocked back on my heels for a second
and sorted out her face
Acting like I had forgotten
she'd said I was too close to her 'space'

I built a real big fence, to help with my defense
I tried to find a hobby or something
that wasn't too intense
I stopped counting the days
quit using words like 'phase'
now I swear that I'm remembering
for the last time again, the last time again

She walked through that fair like lava
dripping off the moon
And I tried to overcompensate for
everything she knew
All that I had dreaded I'd wanted
standing in front of me
And I'd only been a heart attack away
from a full recovery

I built a real big fence, to help with my defense
I saw someone else with her name on tv
and I didn't even flinch
I stopped counting the days
quit using words like 'phase'
now I swear that I'm remembering
for the last time again, the last time again

I'd been convinced she was fully forgotten
my memories laced with lies
But I'm not some make-believe positive thinker
in a happiness disguise
So I turned up the heat for a minute
a chill had raced through the room
I guess a little of that space was empty
because she said "I could need you soon"

I built a real big fence, to help with my defense
I tried to find a hobby or something
that wasn't too intense
I stopped counting the days
quit using words like 'phase'
now I swear that this is happening
for the last time again, the last time again
