[From the CD-single "Over my shoulder", 1995]
I'm thinking, I'm always the last to know
Seems like, I come on a little slow
You disappear before my eyes
How come I was the last to realize
Oh oh oh oh
Hoping, praying for something new
Wishing, that somebody might be you
Saw you standing in the street
Never thought we ever get to meet
Oh oh oh oh oh
Are you for real or just a fantasy
I like to think you just exist for me
So real to me
Whatever I do it only goes to show
It seems to me I'm still the last to know
Oh oh oh oh oh
Seems like, I'm always the least aware
Thinking, yeah
It's not that I didn't care
I got nobody else to blame
But it would help me if I knew you're name
If I knew you're name
Are you for real or just a fantasy
I like to think you just exist for me
Oh you feel so real
Whatever I do it only goes to show
It seems to me I'm still the last to know
Oh oh oh
I'm always the last to know
Don't you know I'm thinking
Always the last to know
And I ask you
You disappear before my eyes
How come I'm the last one to realize
Always the last to know
Always the last
I'm thinking, I'm always the last to know
Seems like, I come on a little slow
You disappear before my eyes
How come I was the last to realize
Oh oh oh oh
Hoping, praying for something new
Wishing, that somebody might be you
Saw you standing in the street
Never thought we ever get to meet
Oh oh oh oh oh
Are you for real or just a fantasy
I like to think you just exist for me
So real to me
Whatever I do it only goes to show
It seems to me I'm still the last to know
Oh oh oh oh oh
Seems like, I'm always the least aware
Thinking, yeah
It's not that I didn't care
I got nobody else to blame
But it would help me if I knew you're name
If I knew you're name
Are you for real or just a fantasy
I like to think you just exist for me
Oh you feel so real
Whatever I do it only goes to show
It seems to me I'm still the last to know
Oh oh oh
I'm always the last to know
Don't you know I'm thinking
Always the last to know
And I ask you
You disappear before my eyes
How come I'm the last one to realize
Always the last to know
Always the last
