The Last Episode
Words and Music by Lisa Locke, 2000
1. I could have taken you or left you, right from the start
It was you who decided to capture my heart
And I'm not usually one to compete
I like 'em all to myself, don't do the jealousy thing
You were more her type, anyway
I go for quiet loners, and you always had something to say
Chorus: But when I looked into your eyes
I saw something like passion, and something like fear
How could I know which it was?
And how could I know who you were?
2. You told me kind of trembly, like a shy little child
You kind of thought you'd maybe really like to be mine
Then you kissed me like you'd never wanted something so bad
And when you finally looked away your big brown eyes were so sad
Honey you should know enough about human kind
To know that flashing neon "maybe" 'd be the one thing on my mind
3. We three were the best gossip in the dorm
I was snapping like fire, she was cracking like ice
You were sitting in your room like a lump of clay
We could hear the mournful chords from underneath your door
By the time you finally told me "no"
It was too late to patch the friendship we'd torn
4. The last episode was in my mailbox this morning
A year and 10,000 miles away
She wrote, "If you want to reach us, we'll be at this address,
And I hope that you know, we wish you all of the best"
So do I have to write it over from the start?
It wasn't her between us, but me keeping you apart
I could really break my head over this
But at least it's past the point where it could break my heart
Last chorus: I'm trying to boil this story down
'Cause there ought to be a lesson to be learned
But I still don't know what was in your eyes
And I still don't know,
Oh, I don't know who you were
