Last Call
Last Call: A Bittersweet Escape from Lasting Connections
Lyrics
We've been talking for a while
We've been engaged in conversation for a while.
And I think I like your smile
I appreciate your smile; I'm drawn to it.
If you wanna go, we better go fast
If we want to leave, we should do it quickly.
Cause I don't think this was meant to last
This interaction may not have a long-term future.
I don't wanna be here when they say last call
I prefer not to be present when the bar announces it's closing.
Don't wanna see your face when the lights come on
I'd rather avoid seeing your expression under the harsh lights.
I'm pretty sure you think my name is Paul
You might have mistaken my name for 'Paul.'
I don't wanna be here when the lights come on
I'd rather not be around when the venue's lights turn on.
I can't hear a thing you say
I'm unable to hear your words clearly.
You don't care anyway
It seems you're indifferent, regardless of what's said.
Well I'll just nod, pretend to hear
I'll pretend to understand, nodding along.
Try not to stare and pay for your beer
I'll avoid staring and cover the cost of your drink.
Cause I don't wanna be here when they say last call
I'd rather not be present when the bar announces it's closing.
Don't wanna see your face when the lights come on
I'd rather not witness your reaction when the lights come on.
I'm pretty sure you think my name is Paul
You might have mistaken my name for 'Paul.'
And I don't wanna be here when the lights come on
I'd prefer to leave before the venue's lights turn on.
Well I would take you home in my fancy car
If circumstances were different, I'd take you home in style.
If I had a home or a fancy car
Unfortunately, I lack a home or an extravagant car.
I think the bathrooms in this bar have walls too thick to hear
The walls in this bar are thick, preventing private conversation.
We could take a stroll out to your car
We could head to your car for privacy.
In dim parking lights, take things too far
Things might escalate in the dimly lit car surroundings.
When I take my leave, your standards are so low you shed a tear
Your expectations seem low; my departure makes you upset.
Take a look
Reflecting on the situation.
Yeah it could be worse
Trying to see the positive aspect despite the circumstances.
I'll close my tab
I'll settle my bill at the bar.
Go on and grab your purse
Get ready to leave by grabbing your purse.
I can't say that we'll be missed when we're gone
We might not be remembered when we're gone.
But at least tonight we won't be alone
However, tonight, we won't be alone.
Cause I don't wanna be here when they say last call
I prefer not to be present when the bar announces it's closing.
Don't wanna see your face when the lights come on
I'd rather not witness your reaction when the lights come on.
I'm pretty sure you think my name is Paul
You might have mistaken my name for 'Paul.'
And I don't wanna be here when the lights come on
I'd prefer to leave before the venue's lights turn on.
I don't wanna be here when the lights come on
I'd rather not be present when the venue's lights turn on.
I don't wanna be here when the lights come on
I'd prefer not to be around when the lights come on at the venue.
