"The Last Thing I Heard Her Say" lyrics - JOHN PARISH

I was in the water when you grabbed me from behind
Your arms around my neck
It was more than fifteen years
Since you or me left
Was I supposed to be surprised
You kissed me
Wiping chlorine from my eyes

Did you leave me
Or I leave you

Voted third most beautiful
Eleven hundred in our school
I had you number one
And how I remember you turning up
To trade me for a younger flame
Barely sixteen years to my name

Did you leave me
Or I leave you

Did I leave you or you leave me
She said, "I scored two out of three
And was the third revenge for you"
Her smile was cold the water blue

We clung onto the side a while
Afraid of letting go
"Is it you or my youth I've been missing so bad"
She turned and swam away
Was the last thing I heard her say
