You're the Last Thing on My Mind
Aron Wright Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On the other side of this closet door
You and I are packed in boxes
Pictures taken from before
On the other side of this bedroom door
There are phantom shadows dancing on the sunlit floor

I was dumb to think I′d keep you under lock and key
It's like you′re dripping from the ceilings
Wall to wall you're all I see
Although everything around me is screaming otherwise
You're the last thing on my mind
You′re the last thing on my...

When I go outside down our beat up steps
Every crack is just an echo of the morning when you left
All the friends we knew, seem to ask about you
I just tell them that you′re doing fine
I know it's true

I was dumb to think I′d keep you under lock and key
It's like you′re dripping from the ceilings
Wall to wall you're all I see

Although everything around me is screaming otherwise
You′re the last thing on my mind
You're the last thing on my mind
Although everything around me is screaming otherwise
You're the last thing on my mind
You′re the last thing on my mind

Although everything around me is screaming otherwise
I can only find my happiness in your eyes




Although everything around me is screaming otherwise
You′re the last thing on my...

If you can love the wrong person so much, just imagine how much you'll love the right person.

I think we are all thinking of that one person who was once ours, who once made us feel on top of the world but is now more distant than you ever imagined they would be.

Mine now lives in Southern Texas... I live in Northern Canada.

I sometimes wish I hadn't let her go, but I feel she is happier over there with the other guy.

That alone keeps me going.

Ahmed Khelif

Yeah 😔
