The Longing
I wish I knew that the last time
Would be the last time
That we actually got together
I would have savored the moments
I wish I would've done more
To stay around you
But really it was just a dalliance
You probably don't even think about me
The music in the background
The moaning and groaning
The conversations in between
All of this is now just a footnote
In our personal histories
I wish I knew that the last time
Would be the last time
You didn't leave me with regret
I was left longing
Wishing I was less polite
and more daring
Well the truth is
I can never go back to that time
All I have is nostalgia
And a few remnants
of your presence
I've seen a few after you
But really you're the one
I'm still looking for
I wish I knew that the last time
Would be the last time
Because you had to move abruptly
And no goodbyes were ever said
Would be the last time
That we actually got together
I would have savored the moments
I wish I would've done more
To stay around you
But really it was just a dalliance
You probably don't even think about me
The music in the background
The moaning and groaning
The conversations in between
All of this is now just a footnote
In our personal histories
I wish I knew that the last time
Would be the last time
You didn't leave me with regret
I was left longing
Wishing I was less polite
and more daring
Well the truth is
I can never go back to that time
All I have is nostalgia
And a few remnants
of your presence
I've seen a few after you
But really you're the one
I'm still looking for
I wish I knew that the last time
Would be the last time
Because you had to move abruptly
And no goodbyes were ever said
