Our Last Night
Taylor Swift · Other Songs - Taylor Swift
My name's Taylor Swift
This is a cover song I'm gonna sing for you
By one of my favorite bands called Better Than Ezra
And its the song called Our Last Night
We were standing in an empty room
The moonlight was falling
You were holding my hand when the car pulled up for you
And I could have spent a life with you
But those days were over
You were calling my name when your face faded from view
And wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day
And wasn't it you who told me:
Angels fly in the air tonight
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
I remember waking up with you
The days doing nothing
You meant more to me then than I think you ever knew.
But you were gonna be a doctor, movie star
A poet at a Nobel seminar
I hope the world never tore that out of you
Cause wasn't it you who told me the sun would always chase the day
Yeah wasn't it you who told me:
Angels fly in the air tonight
Saying wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
And what ever happened to the things you loved
And the songs we played, and the indian days
Whatever happened to the things you gave away?
Like Harold and Maude and singing
I was waving as you drove away
The sunlight was falling
You were writing backwards in a dusty window pane
Angels fly in the air tonight
and wasn't it just like swimming out on the lake?
oh oh yeah
And stars collide and the air's alive
Or was it just like those promises that you made
On our last night?
on our last night
oh oh oh oh oh
