Songwriters: Carver, Lisa; Laird, Luke What if you knew it was your last cigarette Would you take it down slow, and savor it Would you roll it on your tongue, scared to let it go And hold it in your chest 'cause you know You'd be missin' it before it's even secondhand smoke Sometimes, the stars line up Sometimes, the world stands still Sometimes, the things you love the most You forget to feel What if the time that got away Had a way of comin' back, and tellin' you Hold on, this'll be your last I was lyin' there awake with your back against my chest When that alarm clock went off, it ruined it Just another Wednesday morning, set just five minutes more
But it was pour the coffee, pa** the toothpaste Quick kiss on the cheek before you walked out the door Sometimes, the stars line up Sometimes, the world stands still Sometimes, the things you love the most You forget to feel What if the time that got away Had a way of comin' back, and tellin' you Hold on, this'll be your last I would've turned you around I wouldn't have let you go Oh, baby, I just didn't know Sometimes, the stars line up Sometimes, the world stands still Sometimes, the things you love the most You forget to feel What if the time that got away Had a way of comin' back, and tellin' you Hold on, this'll be your last
