The Front Rail

Intro

(mmh)

(yeah)

Verse 1

Sticky floors and a crushed paper cup

I’m tracing the salt on my skin while the volume goes up

You’re leaning in close just to shout over the hum

Telling me secrets like they’re the only ones left to come

(uh-huh)

Pre-Chorus

My watch stopped ticking at a quarter to ten

But I don’t need the digits to know where I am

The floor starts to rattle, the air’s getting thin

I’m shedding the weight of the places I’ve been

Chorus

I’m giving you the last of me

Before the morning breaks the lock and turns the key

Everything I held onto, I’m letting it go

Right here in the middle of the only world I know

Yeah, you’re getting the last of me

(the last of me)

Post-Chorus

(oh-oh)

(let it go)

(yeah)

Verse 2

I lost my left shoe somewhere near the front rail

But the rhythm is steady, a ship with a heavy sail

I see your silhouette through the haze of the crowd

Nothing is quiet but nothing’s too loud

(mmh)

Pre-Chorus

My watch stopped ticking at a quarter to ten

But I don’t need the digits to know where I am

The floor starts to rattle, the air’s getting thin

I’m shedding the weight of the places I’ve been

Chorus

I’m giving you the last of me

Before the morning breaks the lock and turns the key

Everything I held onto, I’m letting it go

Right here in the middle of the only world I know

Yeah, you’re getting the last of me

(the last of me)

Bridge

No more holding back, no more "maybe next time"

Just the grit in the teeth and the mountain to climb

If this is the end of the tape, let it spin

(let it spin)

(yeah)

Chorus

I’m giving you the last of me

Before the morning breaks the lock and turns the key

Everything I held onto, I’m letting it go

Right here in the middle of the only world I know

Yeah, you’re getting the last of me

Outro

(the last of me)

(mmh)

(just the last of me)
