Last Place
Embracing Last Place: A Musical Journey through Unrequited Love
Lyrics
What's it gonna take to get you out of my mind
Expressing the difficulty of removing someone from the speaker's thoughts.
I thought I locked the door that you slipped behind
Reflecting on attempts to keep the person out, but they still found a way in.
I know I don't mean anything to you in the end
Acknowledging that the speaker holds little significance to the other person.
But I could never see you as a friend
Affirming an inability to view the person as a friend due to romantic feelings.
(I could never see you as a...)
Reiterating the difficulty in seeing the person as a friend.
I'm wondering whose move it is
Expressing uncertainty about the current situation and whose turn it is to make a move.
Is this a game or a pop quiz
Questioning if the relationship is a game or a test.
I don't wanna be your fool again
Desiring to avoid being deceived or hurt again.
But if that's the only way you'll let me in
Expressing a willingness to be vulnerable if it's the only way to connect.
(If that's the only way you'll let me…)
Reiterating the willingness to be vulnerable for a chance at connection.
I'll pour the paint over my face
Symbolizing a willingness to change or disguise oneself for the relationship.
And I'll come in close or give you space
Offering flexibility in closeness or distance based on the other person's needs.
So long as I can run the race
Expressing a commitment to continue despite challenges, likened to a race.
I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
Acceptance and contentment with being in the last place in the other person's priorities.
I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
-I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
-Why'd you hold me like that, just to let me go
Questioning a previous intimate gesture that led to separation.
It feels like there is something that I oughta know
Sensing the existence of undisclosed information or secrets.
Is this thing starting up or dying down
Questioning the status of the relationship, whether it's progressing or ending.
Do you ever think of me when I'm not around
Wondering if the person thinks about the speaker in their absence.
Do you know how strange it is
Reflecting on the peculiarity of having romantic feelings in challenging times.
To have a crush in the apocalypse
Expressing the uniqueness of having a crush amid difficult circumstances.
I can't give you all of me
Declaring an inability to give all of oneself in the relationship.
Well I could, in fact, it would be kinda easy
Suggesting that offering complete commitment is possible and easy.
I'll pour the paint over my face
Repeating the acceptance of being in the last place, indicating contentment.
And I'll come in close or give you space
-So long as I can run the race
-I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
-I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
-I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
-I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
-I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
-I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
-I guess I'm fine coming in Last Place
Reiterating and concluding the acceptance of being in the last place.
