about

Incorporating Guitar-Sitar, Trumpet and a 3/4 beat - this tune showcases the ecclectic approach to the Rationales' roots. A bit americana feeling but at the same time britpop influenced as well. Like wilco's summerteeth era songs "Last Words" takes american songwriting and filters it through a beatlesque lense.

lyrics

Measured and fitted, when you decided to give
something inside of you, tired but struggling to live,
I shared it all I never hid

And I never mind the sun in my eyes as long as I’m here and it’s clear

She won't remember the last thing you said if you’re there
a cracker-jack prize of a reason for all that you did
Sung in the words of a song you just dreamt as a kid

and I never mind the sun in my eyes as long as I’m here – and it’s clear

sinking and timid - when you decided to go
back to the place you came from where you already know,
I’ll share it all just like before

And I never mind the sun in my eyes as long as I’m here and it’s clear

She won't remember the last thing you said if you’re there
a Cracker-Jack prize of a reason for all that you did
Sung in the words of a song you just dreamt as a kid

And I never mind the sun in my eyes as long as I’m here – and it’s clear

I’ve seen this all before -
I’ve seen this all before --
I’ve seen this all before ---



She won't remember the last thing you said if you’re there
a Cracker-Jack prize -- a coin that was hid in your ear
Sung in the words of a song you just dreamed as a kid
