He was back in my home town
Drinking whiskey from the bottle
It wasn't yet summer
Walked past the burning.

I didn't know it was the last time
You never know when its the last time,
I didn't know it was the last time.

Now I'm miles after that night
To a filthy attic room
I can still evoke the stale smoke
Of his cigarettes, cigarettes, cigarettes.

I didn't know it was the last time
You never know when its the last time,
I didn't know it was the last time.

He was on the sidewalk
With his empty, ocean eyes
He was smiling like a shadow
And will never age, never age, never age

I didn't know it was the last time
You never know when its the last time,
I didn't know it was the last time.

Her vision blurred through colored glass
The white washed walls of summer past
The smoldering I do recall
The hopeless fate, the way we fall

The way we fall
The way we fall
The way we fall.
