about

Originally appeared on the Mr. Boddy EP.

lyrics

you told me that you found her mirror
broken on the kitchen floor
it was then that everything got clearer
you made your way to the back door
and you got the most terrible taste
on the tip of your terrible tongue
you say, "who am i, what have a i done?"

is there no place else you'd rather be
no brighter lights you'd like to see
nobody noticed you fall asleep
the party is over, and you're the last to leave.

you told me you were feeling tired
when we walked into his hotel room
but minutes later you were wired
hanging out with you-know-who
and you were so naive
thought i was oh so green
but i know you and what you've done

is there no place else you'd rather be
no brighter lights you'd like to see
nobody noticed you fall asleep
the party is over, and you're the last to leave.

i told myself, "it's just a little fling.
she'll come around and come back to me."
but it's just as well, cause when we speak
it hurts like hell.

is there no place else you'd rather be
no brighter lights you'd like to see
nobody noticed you fall asleep
the party is over, and you're the last to leave.
you're the last to leave.
