The Last Good Day

[Instrumental Intro] [Bright melodic bass, chiming phased guitar, relaxed drums] [No vocals, no humming] [Verse 1] Coffee cooling by the window Morning traffic down the street Someone laughing from a doorway Summer moving through the heat Children running through the fountain Old men talking in the shade Nobody knew the world was turning On the last good day [Chorus] It was the last good day And nobody knew Blue in the sky Nothing breaking through The last good day Ordinary and true We had everything And never knew [Instrumental Response] [Short recurring guitar motif] [Verse 2] Radios playing from the kitchens Someone writing someone's name Two young lovers missed their train And didn't mind the wait Someone bought a bunch of flowers Someone called a friend too late Nobody knew how much would vanish With the last good day [Chorus] It was the last good day And nobody knew Blue in the sky Nothing breaking through The last good day Ordinary and true We had everything And never knew [Psychedelic Instrumental] [The familiar guitar motif slowly becomes less stable] [Bass remains melodic while the harmony turns uneasy] [Bridge — quieter] Maybe there were signs Hidden in the news Maybe we were tired Of believing what was true Maybe every ending Looks ordinary at first [Final Chorus] It was the last good day And nobody knew Sun on the glass Children running through The last good day Nothing left to prove We had everything We had everything And never knew [Short Instrumental Outro]
