Last Call (on the old me)

[INTRO – breathy spoken, a cappella, intimate] Last call… Time to ring the bell on yesterday [VERSE 1] Every clock in the room Says it’s time to be honest here That sound cuts through the noise Like a warning and a dare I’ve been carryin’ weight I don’t need anymore Some habits, some names Some years I already wore [PRE-CHORUS] I ain’t here to rewrite the past I just know what I won’t repeat [CHORUS] Last call on the old me Hear it ring, let it be I’m settlin’ up with yesterday And walkin’ out lighter than me Last call on the old me Say it once, say it free When that clock hits twelve It’s the last call… on the old me [VERSE 2] I gave time to maybes I gave chances to ghosts Held on longer than I should Just to say I tried the most But the future don’t wait For you to make up your mind You either step forward clean Or you get left behind [PRE-CHORUS] I kept the lessons, lost the chains Found out who I don’t wanna be [CHORUS] Last call on the old me Hear it ring, let it be I’m settlin’ up with yesterday And walkin’ out lighter than me Last call on the old me Say it once, say it free When that clock hits twelve It’s the last call… on the old me [POST-CHORUS CHANT] Last call… Hands off the old me Last call… Yeah… that’s on me [BRIDGE] This ain’t about startin’ over This is closin’ a door I ain’t ashamed of the road I walked I just won’t walk it no more No more “one more time” No more “maybe someday” If it don’t come with peace It don’t get to stay [FINAL CHORUS] Last call on the old me Hear it ring, let it be I’m settlin’ up with yesterday And walkin’ out lighter than me Last call on the old me Say it once, say it free When that clock hits twelve It’s the last call… on the old me [OUTRO – soft, resolved] Last call… take a breath… Last call on the old me
