[Verse 1] I’m packing up the plastic roses You’re folding up that fraying map Coffee rings on kitchen postcards Every promise Every trap [Pre-Chorus] You say “This time I won’t run” I say “This time I won’t chase” We’re laughing like it’s nothing But there’s salt on every face [Chorus] These are the last tears Falling for us Dance in the wreckage Kick up the dust Spin in the silence Right where we stand These are the last tears Slipping through our hands [Verse 2] You hum that song from late September Boots still stained from county fairs Engine humming in the driveway You keep twisting at your hair [Pre-Chorus] You say “We only lost the road” I say “We lost the town” We toast with flat warm soda Let the ceiling fan slow down [Chorus] These are the last tears Falling for us Dance in the wreckage Kick up the dust Spin in the silence Right where we stand These are the last tears Slipping through our hands [Verse 3] Neon clock above the counter Reads a time that can’t be right Jukebox coughing out an old tune While we bargain with the night [Pre-Chorus] You say “Let’s stay ‘til the lights fade” I say “They faded years ago” But your fingers drum the table Like you’re not ready to let go [Chorus] These are the last tears Falling for us Dance in the wreckage Kick up the dust Spin in the silence Right where we stand These are the last tears Slipping through our hands [Verse 4] (Male) I’ll take the records You take the novels (Female) I’ll keep the jacket that you hate (Together) Split the ghosts in the apartment Leave the dishes to their fate [Pre-Chorus] (Female) You say “We were just bad timing” (Male) I say “We were lightning Crashing fast” (Together) Every strike was so electric But the storm was built to pass [Chorus] These are the last tears Falling for us Dance in the wreckage Kick up the dust Spin in the silence Right where we stand These are the last tears Slipping through our hands [Verse 5] (Male) If I see you in some late show crowd (Female) If you hear my name in passing talk (Male) We’ll raise a glass to every almost (Female) To every wild Uneven walk [Pre-Chorus] (Together) We’ll say “Look how far we made it” To a stranger at our side And feel one tiny echo Of that reckless Foolish ride [Chorus] These are the last tears Falling for us Dance in the wreckage Kick up the dust Spin in the silence Right where we stand These are the last tears Slipping through our hands [Bridge] (Female) One more spin in this worn-out barlight (woah) (Male) One more truth we don’t disguise (Together) One more slow Forgiving spotlight On two kids who tried [Chorus] These are the last tears Falling for us Dance in the wreckage Kick up the dust Spin in the silence Right where we stand These are the last tears These are the last tears Slipping through our hands
