Trying to forget you, reinvent and represent you
As a big mistake that I once made when I was very young
If it pleases you to think of me as a painful appendectomy
That's all right by me, that's all right by me
Remember how we used to talk about the way we'd get together
Sometime in the distant future, when all'd be in the past
Well, we've arrived here in the future and it's as bad as we imagined
Maybe worse, 'cause I don't even know if you are still alive
CHORUS
It's the last chance for me to ask you why
It's the last chance for you to say
It's the last chance for me to say goodbye
It's the last chance for you to stay
If I can't forget you, does that mean that we belong together?
Or does it mean I can't let go, oh, I don't see how I can know
You occupy my thoughts and dreams that occupy my mountain streams
Of thoughts to think when I am very down and very blue
So I can't tell if you're for real, or if you're like the man of steel
Who cannot move his arms and legs although he seemed so strong
A rendezvous with you produced no signs of being less confused
Some signs of sighs of deep relief, some signs of deepened grief
CHORUS
Open up your heart to me
Tell me, tell me, speak to me
In tongues, in tongues of twisted hatred
Tell me why you left
Though what we had was real to me, I know it was just a joke to you
But that's all right by me, yeah, that's all right by me
'Cause I have made my peace with who you were so many years ago
I know you were abused, I know you were abused
But who have you become today? I get down on my knees and pray
To know the present truth, to know the present truth
CHORUS
