First of the Last to Know - Glen Hansard, Peter Katz

Everyone is breaking out

Covering the ground

I can only dream of

While I watch 'em all go by

From the corner of my eye

Wondering what I’m made of

(Pre-Chorus)

And why I’m the first of the last to know

I’m coming out my way

I’m coming out my way

I’m coming out my way

(Verse Two)

Come see it for yourself

The books there on the shelf

That I never got to

I bought 'em for the show

So everyone would know

That I belonged here too

(Pre-Chorus)

While I just rehearsed what I hoped to show

I’m coming out my way

I’m coming out my way

I’m coming out my way

I’m coming out my way

(Interlude)

I don’t really want to have to go there

All it ever does is lead me nowhere

All it ever really does is bring me down

So I’m going to leave it all behind me

It can try but it’ll never find me

And I won’t ever be the first of the last to know

(Bridge+Interlude)

Come now I will take this on hands tied behind my back

With nothing and no one to help but my plan of attack

And all of this self-defeat will fall along the track

And for once in my whole life I won’t be looking back

(I don’t really want to have to go there

All it ever does is lead me nowhere

All it ever really does is bring me down

So I’m going to leave it all behind me

It can try but it’ll never find me

And I won’t ever be the first of the last to know

I don’t really want to have to go there

All it ever does is lead me nowhere

All it ever really does is bring me down

So I’m going to leave it all behind me

It can try but it’ll never find me

And I won’t ever be the first of the last to know)

I’m coming out my way

I’m coming out my way

I’m coming out my way

I’m coming out my way
