The Last Day

How was I supposed to know it would be my last day on earth?
Just walking down the street
Not really going anywhere

How was I supposed to know?
Just going about doing my own thing
Looking for nothing really
Just walking with my family
On holiday
Going to the shops
Nothing special

How was I supposed to know?
Walking down the street would be the last thing I ever did?
I’ll never know now

How was I supposed to know it would be my last day on earth?
Walking down the street
Going to the shops
Having a coffee with a friend
Going to work
Getting the train

How was I supposed to now it would be my last day on earth?
Doing nothing special
Nothing special at all
Just things we do every day
The last day

How was I supposed to know it would be my last day on earth?
Watching a film
Having a drink
Catching up with friends
Reading the paper
Nothing special

How was I supposed to know?
Just going about doing my own thing
Crossing the road
Having a coffee
Walking the dog
Flicking through my phone

How was I supposed to know?
Going to sleep would be the last thing I ever did
I’ll never know now

How was I supposed to know it would be my last day on earth?
Walking down the street
Going to the shops
Having a coffee with a friend
Going to work
Getting the train

How was I supposed to know it would be my last day on earth?
Doing nothing special
Nothing special at all
Just things we do every day
The last day
