Lyrics:
Was walking down the street today
In my neighborhood
Something caught my eye
What it was, was not clear to me at first
Caught up in the corner of my mind
What it was, was disturbing as I moved a little closer
It was an old man I once knew as a child
He told me a story about a life he once lived
7..8..9..10..11..12..13.14.15. years ago
He said he partied his life away
He only had one more thing to say to me
I don’t want to be the last one left when the party starts
I don’t want to be the last one left when the party starts
So now as I think back on what he told me
I’m that age myself
What he showed me was that there’s only one life to live
You have to live it and be happy, be happy
I know there’s rules in this game, I know this game also changes
To live by the book and to make myself good and to do as I should
I know, I know there’s many things I may have done wrong
But let me sing this song as a testament
I don’t want to be the last one left when the party starts
I don’t want to be the last one left when the party starts
I don’t want to be the last one left when the party starts
I don’t want to be the last one left when the party starts
I don’t want to be the last one left
Said you come looking for me but I’m already there
No I don’t want to be the last one left
You come running for me but I’m gone, yes I’m gone
I don’t want to be the last one left
You come looking of me but I’m already there
I don’t wanna be, never gonna be the last one left, never
I’ll never be the last one left when the party starts
