Last Kiss
Unspoken Goodbyes: Tracing the Echo of a Last Kiss
Lyrics
Wish I knew that last kiss you laid on my lips
Expressing a desire to have known the significance of the final kiss.
As the sun slipped through the ivory shades
Setting the scene of the last kiss with the sun slipping through ivory shades.
Was the last time I'd melt in your eyes
Realizing that the last time they melted in each other's eyes was during that kiss.
Tracing your jawline with my fingertips
Recalling a moment of intimacy, tracing the partner's jawline with fingertips.
Should I have seen it from a million miles away
Reflecting on whether the end of the relationship was predictable.
Coulda sworn we were bullet proof yesterday
Expressing surprise and a sense of invincibility in the past.
Damn you for pouring coffee this morning like nothings wrong
Angry at the partner for behaving normally, as if nothing is wrong.
Damn you for packing all your things up before I got home
Frustration with the partner for packing up without waiting.
Wish I knew that last kiss you laid on my lips
Repeating the desire to have known the importance of the last kiss.
As the sun slipped through the ivory shades
Reiterating the setting of the last kiss for emphasis.
Was the last time I'd melt in your eyes
Acknowledging that the last time they felt a deep connection was during the kiss.
Tracing your jawline with my fingertips
Recalling the tactile experience of tracing the partner's jawline.
Would have lingered a little longer
Expressing a desire to prolong the last kiss.
Would have leaned in a little stronger
Regret for not making the last kiss more intense.
If I knew that last kiss would be the last kiss
If aware it was the last kiss, would have made it more significant.
Would it have killed you boy to man up
Questioning the partner's maturity for not addressing the situation.
And drop a hint
Suggesting that communication and openness could have helped.
To be a human, maybe talk it out
Expressing disappointment in the partner's lack of communication.
But you didn't (no you didn't)
Emphasizing the partner's failure to take the initiative to talk.
I might have pulled you closer, closer, closer
If aware, might have pulled the partner closer for emotional closure.
Might have got some closure, closure
The closure could have been achieved by intensifying the last moment.
If I knew that last kiss you laid on my lips
Repeating the wish to have known the importance of the last kiss.
As the sun slipped through the ivory shades
Recreating the setting of the last kiss for emotional emphasis.
Was the last time I'd melt in your eyes
Highlighting the significance of melting in the partner's eyes.
Tracing your jawline with my fingertips
Recalling the tactile experience of tracing the partner's jawline.
Would have lingered a little longer
Reiterating the desire for a longer-lasting last kiss.
I would have leaned in a little stronger
Regret for not making the last kiss more intense.
If I knew that last kiss you laid on my lips
Repeating the wish to have known the importance of the last kiss.
As the sun slipped through the ivory shades
Reiterating the setting of the last kiss for emphasis.
Was the last time I'd melt in your eyes
Acknowledging that the last time they felt a deep connection was during the kiss.
Tracing your jawline with my fingertips
Recalling the tactile experience of tracing the partner's jawline.
I would have lingered a little longer
Expressing a desire to prolong the last kiss.
I would have leaned in a little stronger
Regret for not making the last kiss more intense.
If I knew that last kiss would be the last kiss
If aware it was the last kiss, would have made it more significant.
