The New Pornographers
Last and Beautiful
[Verse 1]
I was going to seek the dark ends of the earth
A last beautiful stand
Was going to step down, drop torches
Become just a face in the crowd
[Pre-Chorus]
It was done, I dotted all the Is but one
Deal was done, I dotted all the Is but one
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna go by myself, come with me
I don't wanna go by myself
I don't wanna go by myself, come with me
I don't wanna go by myself
[Verse 2]
The game was to go around the bend and
Report back what I found
Go into one ear and out the other one
The good old smash and grab
[Pre-Chorus]
It was done, I dotted all the Is but onе
Deal was done, I dotted all thе Is but one
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna go by myself, come with me
I don't wanna go by myself
I don't wanna go by myself, come with me
I don't wanna go by myself
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
I was going to reap exactly what I'd sown
A last beautiful stand
My crowning mistake in the arc of my dive
The last second look down
[Pre-Chorus]
It was done, I dotted all the Is but one
Deal was done, I dotted all the Is but one
[Chorus]
And I don't wanna go by myself, come with me
I don't wanna go by myself
I don't wanna go by myself, come with me
I don't wanna go by myself
