My Last Request



When your smile becomes the reason I breathe
And your eyes become the motive to see
And if it's better for your health
To see the love, it lives in someone else
And all that I can say
All that I can say is

She's my last request
Everything else is suddenly taken over
And I'm my own regret
And all that I wanted
Is outta my hands

Your thoughts of war, religion and life (love?)
Other things that I recall when you're gone
And now I'm left without a clue
On where I stood in line when I lost you
And all that I can say
It's all that I can say

She's my last request
Everything else is suddenly taken over
And I'm my own regret
And all that I wanted
Is outta my hands
Is outta my hands

When your smile becomes the reason I breathe
And your eyes become the motive to see
Then all that I can say is

She's my last request
Everything else is suddenly taken over
And I'm my own regret
And all that I wanted
Is outta my hands
Outta my hands

She's my last request
And all that I wanted
Is outta my hands

YW.

And Marlowe, I don't know anything about song credits, it doesn't show up on iTunes. We should ask for it on DCO, I think.

I don't understand the line:
QUOTE
Everything else is suddenly taken over

Any ideas, opinions.
Having a hard time making sense of it.
It is twisting my mind around. lol
Does he mean that everything else in his universe/life has been taken over by his desire/thoughts of her?

I don't know who wrote it, but "My Last Request" is AWESOME (just like the rest of them). Thanks for posting the lyrics.

Is there an official lyrics you can direct me to? For now, life/love is up for contention, because I did ask a few peoples opinion and some say life, some say love while others aren't sure.

Thanks for the information on the songwriters, David Fan Forever!! This is one of my favorites on the CD. The lyrics touch my heart and I love the melody!

Forgotten Words, I am not sure where you can get a copy of the song!! sad.gif

sad.gif Ah me either. I've tried everywhere. I think someone who already has an mp3 of it is the only way to find it. I would gladly pay for an itunes download (99 cents is cool with me) but it's just not anywhere out there. So frustrating!

I dunno - maybe it's just me, but I find this song a bit scary - what does the the lyric " I'm my own regret" mean? The sentiments feel very dark and despairing in my reading of it. It gives me the chills whenever I listen to it.

^It does feel darker than the rest of the CD. This song reminds me of Analog Heart more than any song on the album.

My favorite line has to be either:

When your smile becomes the reason I breathe
And your eyes become the motive to see

or:

And now I'm left without a clue
On where I stood in line when I lost you

Maybe it's an occupational hazard , being a mental health professional, but the words, "she's my last request/ suddenly everything is taken over" and his control over his life is "taken outta my hands," just sounds suicidal to me. The "speaker" in the song feels he is his "own regret" - does "he" feel that his life is a total failure, and losing the girl proves it and leaves him without any hope?

Very heavy song imo.
