[Verse 1] Glass in my hand Ice barely clingin’ to the past You say it’s fine But the clock’s got a crooked laugh Ash on the table Your shadow leans too long Every tiny tremor in your jaw Says something’s gone [Chorus] This is the last drink before the dawn Last slow blink before we’re gone You stir the poison in your coffee cup Smile like you don’t feel the cut Yeah, this is the last drink before the dawn Before the dawn [Verse 2] Pills in the drawer Beside a postcard from the sea You used to talk Like the waves were a prophecy Now every hallway Feels like it’s closing in I hear that haunting piano line Crawlin’ under your skin [Chorus] This is the last drink before the dawn Last slow blink before we’re gone You stir the poison in your coffee cup Smile like you don’t feel the cut Yeah, this is the last drink before the dawn Before the dawn [Bridge] [Drums fall to a marching pulse, distant backing vocals hum] Your mother’s voice on the telephone Leaves another message at the tone (pick up) But the walls breathe slow And the lights burn low As you trace our names In the dust on the window [Chorus] This is the last drink before the dawn Last slow blink before we’re gone You tilt your head back, let the silence in Kiss me like we never sinned Yeah, this is the last drink before the dawn Before the dawn (before the dawn) (before the dawn)
