This song presents, according to Matt Skiba, the idea of being a bike messenger and hoping for something more to come from your life. This mirrors his situation during the early days of Alkaline Trio.
[Verse 1: Matt Skiba]
Wide-eyed, knee-deep in surprise
Just below your thighs, the temperature drops five degrees
Your standby flight has just arrived
Tongue-tied, bleeding from your eyes
Even Christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars
While you're counting sheep, I'll count my lucky stars
You were the last good thing I ever saw
[Chorus: Matt Skiba]
And I lost it all, I lost it all
[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
Burned out on two hours of shut-eye
Eyes glazed at the thought of the next eight hours
Headwind, cold rain to wake me
[Refrain: Matt Skiba]
You were the last good thing I ever saw
