Lyrics

If this were my last song, would you listen closer?
If this were my last song, would you lean in?
If this were my last song, would you hum along?
If this were my last song, would you try to remember everything?
The shape of my neck, everything
The size of my breast, everything
The things you dislike, everything
My ego, my pride, everything
The sound of my scream, everything
The breath in between, everything
The first song before everything
If this were my last song, I might just sing louder
If this were my last song, I would ask the band to slow it down
If this were my last song, we'd sing harmonies
If this were my last song, I would try to tell you everything
The times that I lied, everything
The days that I cried, everything
The lovers I knew, everything
My hungry nights too, everything
Grandmother's grave, everything
The last time I prayed, everything
The first song before everything
The times I lied, the days I cried
Lovers I knew, my hungry nights too
Grandmother's grave, last time I prayed
First song before everything, everything, everything
If this were my last song
If this were my last song
I'd thank the room, the air, and hearts around me
I'd breathe deeper and deeper and hold the notes for a while
I might be afraid to cry, might be afraid to swallow
Might be afraid to fly, might be afraid to fly, oh
If this were my last song
If this were my last song
Breathe deeper and hold the notes for a while
Breathe deeper and hold the notes for a while
Breathe deeper and hold the notes for a while
Breathe deeper and hold the notes for a while
