Lyrics:
Verse
We all lead such busy lives
Sometimes little things slip away
We had gathered for Grandpa’s birthday
Every year did it the same way
Thought it was all taken care of
Was something we forgot to bring
Still he smiled as we began to sing
But the memory, it still stings
Chorus
We never know when the last time
Is the last time
‘til it’s forever gone away
So friends, all I can tell you is
Always order the cake
Verse
Got the call ‘bout my good friend
It’s hard to believe he is gone
We were running buddies for so long
Still feel like I treated him wrong
Last time we went out to eat
When he asked me, “Got time for dessert?
Blew him off cause, I had too much work
Man, now I feel like such a jerk
Chorus
We never know when the last time
Is the last time
‘til it’s forever gone away
So friends, all I can tell you is
Always order the cake
Bridge
Slow down and pay attention
To those who matter most in life
Cause moments don’t last
But the memories
just might
Chorus
We never know when the last time
Is the last time
‘til it’s forever gone away
So friends, all I can tell you is
Always order the cake
Outro
Always order the cake
