Last to Know - Blue Rodeo

What took so long to build

took a moment to slip away

you could barely hide

the satisfaction on your face

Time takes another day

changes you in subtle ways

lifts you up then slowly lets you go Sitting there across the room

your smile looks like a threat

I’m living underneath the heel

of what you might say next

Memory works in strange ways

cuts you down makes you pay

one day you’ll be walking fine

the next day lightning hits you from behind

One heart one love

two people who can’t rise above

each time we fall

don’t know what I was thinking of don’t say it’s so don’t say it’s so let me be the last to know

Seems we move backward now

the further on we walk

hard to find a single line

through all our double talk

Home late and drunk again

close the door shut out the rain

one more day no damage done

but my spirits are falling sinking

like the sun

One heart one love

two people who can’t rise above

each time we fall

don’t know what I was thinking of don’t say it’s so don’t say it’s so let me be the last to know

I’m standing at your doorway

I can hear your voice inside

you’re telling all your friends

what you’re gonna say to me tonight

write me a better part

find the words to break your heart

keep you on your knees forever

funny how my tongue gets tied together

One heart one love

two people who can’t rise above

each time we fall

don’t know what I could be dreaming of don’t say it’s so don’t say it’s so let me be the last to know
