I Wish We Never Had a Last

I didn't know that coffee on the porch was the last time;

You laughed at my old truck not starting in the cold;

You said, see you later, like later was forever;

I'd wave from the driveway like we always do;

If I'd known what heaven knew that day;

I would've held that hug a little longer;

I would've made that goodbye never coming;

I would've said I love you like

I meant it for a lifetime;

Not just a passing word on the run;

And I'm haunted by the last hug, the last goodbye;

The last, I love you,

I wish I never had a last;

Your jacket still here on the back of the kitchen chair;

Your voice is still here in the hallway in my head;

I keep replaying every small thing

I missed then;

Every chance to say more that

I left unsaid;

I would've held that hug a little longer;

I would've begged that goodbye to wait;

I would've said

I love you till you really felt it;

Not like it was just another day;

Now I'm left with a last hug, a last goodbye;

The last I love you,

I wish I never last;

They say you never know the last time;

Till the last time's already gone;

If love had a warning, if time had some mercy;

I'd still be holding on;

So I hold this memory a little tighter;

′Cause it's all I have to hold;

And if you hear me anywhere you are now;

I hope you already know that

I still mean that last goodbye;

That last goodbye;

That last I love you;

I wish we never had last;

Yeah, I wish we never had a last;
