From the recording Imaginary Thoroughfares

Lyrics

Every time I've tried to write about our love
It always comes out so unreal
no matter what I put on the page
it can't match the way I feel

If this is the last song I write
if this is the last thing I record
if this is the last time I can say it in a song
I want it to be for you

I make stories out of nothing and nothing real is my reward
you cant hold smoke, mirrors are just cold glass
I've tried before, and I always seem to fail
when I try to make the moment last

If this is the last song I write
if this is the last thing I record
if this is the last time I can say it in a song
I want it to be for you

I know that I don't tell you quite as often as I should
just what your love has meant to me
The day to day routine, juggling work and kids and home
there's no time left just to be

The Couple that we were
not so very long ago
before we two became four
I know it's hard to see it
but I'm sure that we're still there
no matter what life has in store

If this is the last song I write
if this is the last thing I record
if this is the last time I can say it in a song
I want it to be for you

If this is the last song I write
if this is the last thing I record
if this is the last time I can say it in a song
I want it to be for you
