Last Kiss
T. Swift Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
You told me you loved me
So why did you go
Away
Away

I do recall now
The smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement
I ran off the plane
That July ninth
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms

But now I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know how to be something you missed
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I do remember
The swing in your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I roll my eyes and then
You pull me in
I'm not much for dancing
But for you I did

Because I love your handshake
Meetin' my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions

And I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is that
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are

And I hope the sun shines
And it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you
You wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind

So I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is that
I don't know how to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips




Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last

Line by Line Meaning

I still remember the look on your face
I vividly recall the expression on your countenance


Lit through the darkness at 1:58
You were radiant despite the dimness of the hour


The words that you whispered
The sentiments you privately expressed


For just us to know
Intended solely for our knowledge


You told me you loved me
You professed your affection for me


So why did you go
Hence, for what reason did you leave?


Away
Going out of sight


I do recall now
At this moment, I can remember


The smell of the rain
The scent of the downpour


Fresh on the pavement
As it hit the concrete


I ran off the plane
I hastily departed from the aircraft


That July ninth
On the ninth day of July


The beat of your heart
The rhythm of your pulse


It jumps through your shirt
It penetrated your clothing


I can still feel your arms
I can still sense your embrace


But now I'll go sit on the floor
At present, I will go and sit on the ground


Wearing your clothes
Clad in your attire


All that I know is
The only thing I am aware of


I don't know how to be something you missed
I am unaware of how to become someone you yearned for


Never thought we'd have a last kiss
I did not anticipate that we would exchange a final kiss


Never imagined we'd end like this
I never envisioned our conclusion would come to this


Your name, forever the name on my lips
Your name shall perpetually be on my mouth


I do remember
I undoubtedly recollect


The swing in your step
The swagger in your movement


The life of the party, you're showing off again
You were the focal point of the gathering, displaying your skills again


And I roll my eyes and then
I momentarily glanced away and then


You pull me in
You drew me closer towards you


I'm not much for dancing
I am not very fond of dancing


But for you I did
But I did it for you regardless


Because I love your handshake
I appreciate your way of shaking hands


Meetin' my father
When you met my father


I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
I adore the way you stroll with your hands inside your pockets


How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
Remembering how you kissed me in the middle of my speech


There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions
I yearn for those impolite interruptions every single day


So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
Therefore, I shall observe your existence through images as once I observed you slumber


And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
I have the sensation that you are forgetting about me just as I used to feel you inhale and exhale


And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
I will maintain contact with our mutual acquaintances solely to inquire about your well-being


Hope it's nice where you are
I hope the location where you are is pleasant


And I hope the sun shines
Moreover, I hope the sun is radiant


And it's a beautiful day
And that it is a magnificent day


And something reminds you
And that something triggers your memory


You wish you had stayed
You yearn to have remained


You can plan for a change in weather and time
One can anticipate the alteration of seasons and time


But I never planned on you changing your mind
However, I was unprepared for you to change your opinion


Just like our last kiss
As with our farewell kiss


Forever the name on my lips
Your name will endure on my mouth forever


Forever the name on my lips
For all eternity, your name shall be on my lips


Just like our last
Similar to our final

O-ooh-ooh

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I'll keep up with our old friends just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are
And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you you wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in the weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind

So I'll go
Sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is I don't know

I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last -
