“’The Last Day’ is, to put it bluntly, a song about the most difficult heartbreak and loss of love that I had ever experienced in my life. Something I would hope does not happen again, but hey, this is what life is and you gotta be in it to win it, so to speak. The lyrics were written in 2019 in Melbourne in the hours after having spent my last day out alone with this particular woman. I knew it was the last time going into it, and when I said farewell I knew that I would never again get the chance to ever just simply be out in the world with her, let alone be romantic or anything of that nature. I was beyond devastated, and as I lay alone in my Airbnb I wrote the lyrics down in little bursts with no direction other than to exorcise my sorrow and anguish. The whole song and video came to me that same evening and I knew it had to be part of the album. The song means little to me now, but at the time it was everything. I hope it can reach the hearts of many-a-broken out there. Its beauty is for you.“
LYRICS
Your face so warm
It hurts me that I love you so
These tears I cry
I hold myself like I’m going to die
We cannot speak
Words trapped behind iron bars
Open your eyes
Ooh, you don’t have to bear this all
The last day
Deep and heavy
Panic and fear
The way to get out
And run...
To make this light
Shine its last...
Oh yeah
These people walk
They carry on as if I’m not there
And it’s you that haunts
My every step, every breath and sigh
I try to speak
But you aren’t there
Surrounded in these streets
Still a ghost that all can see
On the last day
Deep and heavy
Panic and fear
The way to get out
And run...
To make this light
Shine its last...
Oh yeah
The last day
So deep and heavy - Deep and heavy
Panic and fear
The way to get out
And run...
To make this light
Shine its last...
Oh yeah - Oh yeah
If I had you
I’d have all of you
Why can’t you take my love?
Why won’t you take my home?
Nothing’s “a waste of time“
I just wish I was holding you
Everytime I think
That’s no more left to learn
You take me by surprise
I catch a glimpse and then you quickly turn
I have to stand
And watch you go
You have the choice
You hold the key
While you hold a man that isn’t me
On the last day
Deep and heavy
Panic and fear
The way to get out
And run...
To make this light
Shine its last...
Oh yeah
Why do you go?
Come back to me
Don’t leave...
Don’t leave me please
With you, I’m the man I was meant to be
