The seventh track on 2015’s Honeybear charts a night gone wrong for Mr Tillman and the continuing search for a soulmate. Written to masterfully tell the tale, this song wasn’t released as a single but is often played live.
[Verse 1]
You'll only ever be the girl who just almost died in my house
Half naked, looking through your telephone
Run you a bath and try hard not to freak out
[Pre-Chorus]
So free and too easy
Giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am
Giving it away, giving it away, giving it away
[Chorus]
Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came to, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living
[Verse 2]
Wanna find somebody
But not like this
Yeah, I'm a decent person
Just a little aimless
[Pre-Chorus]
So free and too easy
Giving it away, giving it away
It's not cheap but here I am
Giving it away, giving it away, giving it away
[Chorus]
Don't be my, don't be my, don't be my last strange encounter
The moment you came to, I swore I would change
Though neither one of us would leave unscathed
At least we'll both go on living
