The Last Good Day | Nobody Told Me It Was the Last Time | Modern Heavy Rock

[Verse 1] Sunday afternoon, screen door wide Dad burned the burgers on the outside Mom yelled, "Turn that music down" My brother argued with the game downtown I sat there scrolling through my phone Half in the room, half somewhere else Thought we'd do this a hundred times Didn't know to look around [Pre-Chorus] Nobody said, "Remember this" Nobody raised a warning sign [Chorus] Nobody told me it was the last good day Nobody said, "Look around before it goes away" All of us there, all in one place Laughing like we'd always stay the same If I'd known then What I know today I would've put that damn phone down On the last good day [Verse 2] The house got sold three years ago Mom moved south where the winters don't snow My brother's two states west with kids Dad's old chair is empty now I found that Sunday in a photograph Paper plate and a crooked laugh Nothing special when it happened Now I'd give anything to go back [Chorus] Nobody told me it was the last good day Nobody said, "Look around before it goes away" All of us there, all in one place Laughing like we'd always stay the same If I'd known then What I know today I would've stayed a little longer On the last good day [Bridge] [Electronic pulse only] If I had known I would've stayed another hour Helped Dad clean the grill Let Mom finish every story I would've listened I would've looked up Just once more [Guitar Solo] [20-second melodic guitar solo] [Wide bends → legato → fast picking] [Five-note motif returns] [Final Chorus] Nobody told me it was the last good day But I know better now, so I won't look away When everybody's here, when the room is loud When somebody I love is still hanging around I'll put the whole world down I'll let the moment stay 'Cause you never know You never know When you're living The last good day [Outro] [Five-note motif] [Three massive band hits]
