I saw a meme a while ago about how we as kids never knew the last time we would ever sit on those green power boxes. I wanted a song to remind me of being that kid again. I gave ChatGPT prompts and used Suno.com to create the music and sing it for me. Suno.com created two versions, here's version 2.
Lyrics:
"Never Knowing the Last Time"
[Intro: Soft, gentle piano with a light acoustic guitar]
We were just kids, we didn’t have a clue,
The world felt endless, every day brand new.
But now I look back, tears start to shine,
‘Cause we never knew… the last time.
---
[Verse 1]
Sittin’ on those green power boxes, laughin’ ‘til it hurt,
Talkin’ ‘bout our futures, playin’ in the dirt.
The summer sun would fade, but we didn’t mind,
We never knew… the last time.
---
[Chorus]
Oh, the last time we’d laugh like that,
The last time we’d run so fast.
The last time we’d sit and dream,
The last time we’d be that free.
It slipped away, like sand through our hands,
We never knew… the last time.
---
[Verse 2]
The streetlights blinked on, we stayed out too late,
Thought we had forever, but forever couldn’t wait.
Now the memories linger, frozen in my mind,
Of the moments we lost… the last time.
---
[Bridge: Building emotion with strings]
The last hug from a friend before they moved away,
The last game in the yard, the last carefree day.
Sittin’ on green power boxes, time froze in our eyes,
But life never tells us… the last time.
---
[Chorus: Bigger and more emotional]
Oh, the last time we’d laugh like that,
The last time we’d run so fast.
The last time we’d sit and dream,
The last time we’d be that free.
It slipped away, like sand through our hands,
We never knew… the last time.
---
[Outro: Gentle and reflective]
So here’s to the moments we’ll never relive,
To the love we felt, to the time we give.
Hold it close, don’t let it unwind,
‘Cause you’ll never know… the last time.
[Soft piano fades]
