Last Time Long (Dargan)

I don't know what to say tonight
but I'm convinced that you're the one who knows what's right
In twice the time it takes to tell you what's gone wrong
You never could, I'm half as good
My time won't ever last that long...

You won't try again tonight
and I don't care if you're the one who knows what's right
You see now how to fix what never quite went wrong
but you fail to see that it wasn't me
My time won't ever last that long...

You've got no time to spend tonight
but there's still time, it seems, for me to fix your bedroom light
You say you're making plans; it looks like I heard wrong
because now I'm just the handyman
My time won't ever last that long...

The last time long is still the shortest time of all
in the second you climb highest just before the longest fall
In a kiss between two lovers just better off as friends
When you can't recall the first time but you'd hate to see it end
In the space between two words when there is nothing left to say
and the sound that my own feet make as I turn and walk away
And it's not that you'll be leaving, not goodbye that hurts the worst
It's just that you're the one who said it first

Is this the last time long?
