[Verse 1]
I left our house without a clue
And left New York City, girl, without you
But the sun does shine in this place some days
And even when there's clouds, there isn't always rain

[Chorus]
I'll stow away my greys
In a padlocked case in a padlocked room
Only to be released
When I sing all the songs I wrote about you
This is the last one I'll do

[Verse 2]
Now I'm free in parentheses
And I'm not sure what I ought to do with it
It sits in the house, bright eyes and raised hands
If I ignore its advances then the hand goes down

[Chorus]
I'll stow away my greys
In a padlocked case and in a padlocked room
Only to be released
When I sing all the songs I wrote about you
Oh, this is the last one I'll do
[Bridge]
I feel better and better and worse and then better
Than ever, than ever, than ever
I feel much better, and better, and worse and then better
Than ever, than ever, than ever, than ever

[Outro]
I'll stow away my greys
In a padlocked case and in a padlocked room
Only to be released
When I see you walking around with someone new

This is the last song
This is the last song
This is the last song I'll write about you
