one last time

what I see in your blue eyes 

what I feel inside that's true

nothing left to shelter me

no umbrella to keep me dry 

let's walk the beach this one last time

let's just pretend that it's all fine 

you and I this one last time

just this one last time 

let's feel the sun upon our skin 

smooth tracks we leave in the sand

hand in hand this one last time 

just this one last time 

past the pretense and all of the struggles 

past new hello's and endless goodbyes 

past renewing, reinventing, resurrecting 

inside the door of hopeless love 

let's feel the sun upon our skin

smooth tracks we leave in the sand

hand in hand this one last time 

just this one last time 

it all comes down to nothing 

and the end is very near 

but hand in hand, this one last time 

let's  pretend that it's all fine 

 

you and I this one last time

just this one last time
