Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've lost my way can't go back anymore
Once I had everything now it's gone
Don't tell me again coz I've heard it all before
Some people say that I'm not worth it
I've made mistakes but nobody's perfect
Guess I'll give it a try
I've got one last chance to get myself together
I can't lose no more time it's now or never and I try to remember who I used to be
I've got one more chance to get myself together
The time has come for me to change again
I can't carry on like this, I will lose my friends - don't say that you have given up on me
Just give me the time and speace to heal my head
Some people say that I'm not worth it
I've made mistakes but nobody's perfect
Guess I'll give it a try
I've got one last chance to get myself together
I can't lose no more time it's now or never and I try to remember who I used to be
I've got one more chance to get myself together
I don't wanna be misunderstood
I've got to take this chance and make it into something good
Some people say that I'm not worth it
I've made mistakes but nobody's perfect
Guess I'll give it a try
I've got one last chance to get myself together
I can't lose no more time it's now or never and I try to remember who I used to be
I've got one more chance to get myself together
I got one last chance.
Well you know it's all I need.
Is one last chance,
The lyrics of James Morrison's "One Last Chance" express feelings of self-doubt and desperation as the singer struggles to find his way in life. He feels like he doesn't matter to anyone and has lost his sense of direction, unable to go back to where he once was. The repetition of the phrase "I've got one last chance" emphasizes the urgency and desperation of his situation, and his desire to turn his life around. He acknowledges his mistakes but refuses to give up, wanting to become the person he once was before everything fell apart. He wants to be given the time and space to heal his head and make something good out of this last chance he's been given.
The song's themes of self-discovery and redemption are relatable to many people who have experienced feeling like they've lost their sense of purpose or direction in life. The lyrics create a sense of empathy and compassion for the singer's struggles, and the repetition of the chorus creates a sense of hope and determination for change. The song's melodic structure, with its emotive piano and haunting strings, serves to enhance the sentimentality and depth of the lyrics.
