The Last Time
Above & Beyond Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You touched me
You answered
You loved me
No one on earth could ever make me
Make me feel
So loved, so complete
You have your own way
The only answer to every reason
That I can dream of
The one solution to every problem
That makes me crazy

It turns me inside out
The last time we touched, the last time you held me
I was a soul in your hand
The last time we touched, the last time you held me

My life had only begun
The last time we missed, and I could see you clearly
My eyes were not opened up
The last time we missed, the last time I held you
I could see you clearly

Your sky is mine, I walk beneath it
Not alone
When I call your name
You always answer

And every time I begin to doubt you
You give me more love
No hesitation
You come to me when my heart is beating
So hard I cannot breathe

You give me all I need

And this is all I need
The last time we touched, the last time you held me
My eyes were not opened up
The last time we missed, the last time I held you
I could see you clearly

You touched me

I feel you in my arms
The last time we touched, the last time you held me




I was a soul in your hand
The last time we touched, my heart could see you clearly

I've been counting down the days and the nights
Since you last said that you loved me
And its cold here in the shadows with no light
Since you last said that you loved me
I've been counting down the days and the nights
Since you last said that you loved me
And its cold here in the shadows with no light
Since you last said that you loved me
Time is like an enemy leaving lovers by the side
The more you cling to love, the more you're gonna lose your mind
All I feel is sadness now
Taking over, taking over, taking over
All I see is black clouds of doubt
Taking over, taking over, taking over
I've been counting down the days and the nights
Since you last said that you loved me
And its cold here in the shadows with no light
Since you last said that you loved me
Time is like an enemy leaving lovers by the side
The more you cling to love, the more you're gonna lose your mind
All I feel is sadness now
Taking over, taking over, taking over
I've been counting down the days and the nights
Since you last said that you loved me
And its cold here in the shadows with no light
Since you last said that you loved me

I've been counting down the days and the nights
Since you last said that you loved me
And it's cold here in the shadows with no light
Since you last said that you loved me

Time is like an enemy leaving lovers by the side,
The more you cling to love, the more you're gonna lose your mind.

All I feel is silence now
Taking over, taking over, taking over.
All I see is black clouds of doubt
Taking over, taking over, taking over.

I've been counting down the days and the nights
Since you last said that you loved me
And it's cold here in the shadows with no light
Since you last said that you loved me

Time is like an enemy leaving lovers by the side,
The more you cling to love, the more you're gonna lose your mind.


All I feel is silence now
Taking over, taking over, taking over.


I've been counting down the days and the nights
Since you last said that you loved me
And it's cold here in the shadows with no light
Since you last said that you loved me

I cried the first time i listened to this song. For those of us who can relate to lost love, it's a sad yet beautiful song.

@DerposaurusRex

It definitely hits home :(

@chrislynch8128

I find it ironic that this song came out as I was going through pretty much the exact same series of events shown in the video. To this day this song hits me as both painful and beautiful at the same time, if thats possible . . .

@tuukkap601

I remember doing the same. It has been four years now. All of a sudden Youtube decided to play this one for me. I was living overseas, working on my internship, feeling miserable and broken yet living the time of my life. Definitely hit me hard. After discovering this song I walked home many times in the evening playing this on my ears. I think this song gave me strength in a place I used to be.

I just love A&B – haven't heard a single track by them that isn't to be appreciated for what it is.
