Last Week Me Lyrics & Tabs by Polly Paulusma
Last Week Me
guitar chords lyrics
If I were a time-traveller
I'd climb inside my travelling ship
And take a trip to find myself a week ago
And if myself could see me
And hear what now me had to say
I wonder how I'd phrase it all to make me understand
'Cause last week me was a blissful bumbling idiot
Bang-crash-landing through my days with nothing special on my mind
Yeah, last week me was that carefree caring safe guy
I was happy as a little mayfly, wasn't noticing the time
Slipping by, by, by
Slipping by, by, by
And if I were a time-traveller
I'd tell myself to spend some time with you
To stroke your hair and smell you for remembrance while I still could
And if I were a time-traveller
I'd tell myself to spend some time with you
To stroke your hair and smell you for remembrance while I still could
But then I'd have to tell me
The horror of the days to come
That happy me just living in the moment and lying in the sun
And last week me was cocooned from doom-dread-brooding
Bang-crash-landing through my days assuming everything's fine
Yeah, last week me was that carefree caring safe guy
I was happy as a little mayfly, swooping skyward in the sunshine
Oh, last week me didn't have a code to live by
Thought you'd always be by my side, wasn't noticing the time
Slipping by, by, by
Slipping by, by, by
Slipping by, by, by
If I were a time-traveller
I'd write myself a cryptic song
And play it on the radio one morning
And in that song I'd tell me
To hold you tight and never let you go
To grab my gun and climb up on my rooftop and fire out a warning
And last week me might have stopped washing the dishes
Might have covered you in kisses before I'd wiped my hands dry
Yeah, last week me might have said, "Come sit beside me"
Might have emptied out the diary; sunny day, let's go outside
Oh, but last week me was a blissful bumbling idiot
Bang-crash-landing through my days with life's detritus on my mind
Yeah, last week me didn't know your hours were counted
Took your warm fresh face for granted, didn't stop to say goodbye
Say goodbye, bye, bye
Say goodbye, bye, bye
Say goodbye, bye, bye
Say goodbye
