lyrics

We've been through this a thousand times
And I'm not tired yet
I don't just want to leave this here
I couldn't live with the regret
I think we lay asleep for years
Time flew past our eyes
And I would give up everything
For just one more minute of your time

So take me back to your house
It's where I want to be
That old look in your eyes that burned a hole through me
I think we both finally know what it's like to be alone
One more time I promise, I promise I'll be gone

It's just something I'm missing
It's in those blue eyes of yours
Please take my hand
And Ill follow you home
Dig your nails into my bones

When we've finished this dance
Like so many other times before
We'll lock our arms
And cross our fingers
And hope there's something more
And when we've finished this dance
Like so many other times before
I'd pull you so close
I'd never let you go

So take me back to your house
It͛'s where I want to be
That old look in your eyes that burned a hole through me
I think we both finally know what it's like to be alone
One more time I promise, I promise I'll be gone

Dance a while longer, I'll miss you by my side
Dance a while longer now, I can't say goodbye
I'll never get to your house
It's out of reach for me
That look in those blue eyes, it's finally finished me
I think we both finally know what it's like to be alone
This is it I promise, I promise that I'm gone

Time Will Die And Love Will Bury It

Brilliant album, one of my favourite albums of 2018. Stuart Prickett

Panorama
by La Dispute

supported by 22 fans who also own “The Last Dance”

Musically this feels more experimental for La Dispute reminding me of their Here, Hear releases. Very atmospheric and easy to lose your self in. Perfect for the next time you’re contemplating your existence. (Also found out the guitarist builds his own pedals and used them on this record; neato!) Mikey
