Goodbye Mr. Blue
Father John Misty Lyrics

This may be the last time
This could possibly be the final occurrence

Last time I put on my shoes, mmh
Final occasion of wearing footwear

Go down to the corner
Proceed to the nearby location

And buy the damn cat the expensive food
Purchase high-priced nourishment for the cat

That Turkish Angora's 'bout the only thing left of me and you, mmh
The Turkish Angora cat serves as the remaining connection between us

Early this morning, it started making sounds that say
At the beginning of today, it began emitting sounds communicating

"Don't the last time come too soon?
"Doesn't the final occurrence arrive too quickly?

One down, eight to go, but it's no less true
One event finished, eight more to follow, yet the reality remains unaltered

Don't the last time come too soon?"
"Doesn't the final occurrence arrive too quickly?"

This may be the last time
This could possibly be the final occurrence

Last time I get out of bed, mhm
Final moment of rising from bed

Put coffee on and try, in your words
Prepare coffee and attempt, using your expression

"To show some initiative"
"To demonstrate motivation"

We used to lay around here laughing
We previously reclined in this place, laughing

At what these freaks out there were trying to prove, mhm
Mocking the endeavors of those eccentric individuals out there

But what's wasting time if not throwing it away on work
But isn't wasting time merely squandering it on labor

When the last time comes so soon?
As the final occurrence emerges rapidly

Mr. Blue died in my arms, nothing they could do
Mr. Blue passed away in my embrace, helpless to prevent

Don't the last time come too soon?
Doesn't the final occurrence arrive too quickly?

Love's always gonna leave ya
Affection will always abandon you

No matter what they say
Irrespective of anyone's words

You only know what it is once it's gone away
Its true nature becomes apparent only after its departure

This may be the last time
This could possibly be the final occurrence

The last time I lay here with you, mmh
Final instance of reclining here with you

Do you swear it's not the cat?
Can you promise it isn't the cat?

You don't have to answer that
You are not obliged to respond

I'll just make do
I will manage with what I have

But maybe if he'd gone sooner
But perhaps if he had departed earlier

Could've brought us back together last June, mmh
Could have reconciled us in June of the past year

When the last time was our last time
When the final occurrence was our concluding moment

If only then I knew
If only at that point I possessed the knowledge

The last time was our last time
The final occurrence marked our ultimate moment

Would've told you that the last time comes too soon
I would have informed you that the concluding moment arrives abruptly

When the last time was our last time
When the final occurrence was our concluding moment

Should've told you that the last time comes too soon
Should have informed you that the concluding moment arrives abruptly

Oh
Exclamation expressing surprise or emotion

Ah
Exclamation conveying realization or understanding
