Last Chance
Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sure that he could give you everything
Stability and diamond rings
All the things I do not have
I understand you can't handle that
But for everything that I lack
I provide something you almost had
Hot flesh that you yearn to grab
Pit of your stomach you're still so sad

So oh, what you gonna do.
I'm in love with you
Don't you wanna dance
This might be the last chance
That I get, to love you, oh oh oh

Out of sight, not out of mind
You want the world, I'll give you mine
'Cause you're the girl I'll never find
And I'm the boy you left behind
I know you think you're satisfied
And God knows how hard we tried
But if you showed up at my door
I could give you so much more oh

Oh, what you gonna do
I'm in love with you
Don't you wanna dance
This may be the last chance
That I get, to love you, oh oh oh

Oh, what am I gonna do
I don't have to lose
You're not making sense
This might be the last chance
That you get to love me, oh

You sure don't make it easy
To get myself to safety
You tell me that I'm crazy
But you're the one who makes me this way
You call me so impulsive
But that's what makes us so explosive

So as I burn these photographs
I wonder if you kept the ones you have
Keep them locked up somewhere safe
Since it's the only place you'll see my face

Oh, what you gonna do
I'm in love with you
Why don't you wanna dance
'Cause this might be the last chance
That I get to love you, oh oh oh
Oh, what am I gonna do
I don't like to lose
You're not making sense
'Cause this may be the last chance
That you get to love me, oh

This may be the last chance that I get to love you, oh
This may be the last chance that I get to love you, oh oh oh
To love you, oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

In "Last Chance," Maroon 5 vocalist Adam Levine pleads with an ex-lover to give him another opportunity to prove his love. He acknowledges that she is with someone who is capable of providing her with everything she wants, stability, security, and material possessions, which he lacks. Nevertheless, he believes he can offer her something significantly more important. He tells her that he can fill the void she feels in her gut, stating that he has the 'hot flesh' she craves. Despite all this, he understands that she might have difficulty leaving everything behind, so he encourages her to take this last chance with him.


Adam continues to convince her that she is significant to him, and he relays that she's always on his mind. He has the willingness to give her everything she wants even if it means giving up his own world. The song reflects the struggle of an individual who is willing to do anything to ensure that his ex-lover comes back to him. He emphasizes how crucial it is to take this final opportunity, as he may not ever get another one. Ultimately, Levine asks his ex-lover why she isn't willing to dance with him, reminding her that it might just be the last opportunity to dance with him forever.
