Last Time
Ballard Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The streets from this blue window that I'm seeing through
They shine with all the rain that's falling down
It's late, put on your coat, the freeway is nearby
I guess I'd better run you back to town
They still go round my head, all those things you just said
But I find that I still can't believe

[CHORUS:]
Oh girl it is the last time, you will no longer be mine
It is the last time we will love
Girl, it is the last time, it is the last time we will love
Oh girl I'll tell the porter to pick up your case
This old motel don't have much anyhow
There's no more to be said so I'll go get the car
Could be there will be no hearts breaking now
Yes I heard what you said, if you must leave, go right ahead
But it still seems so crazy to me

[CHORUS:]

(Solo)
Yes I heard what you said, if you must leave, go right ahead
But it still seems so crazy to me
Oh girl it is the last time, you will no longer be mine
It is the last time we will love
(repeats 2x)
I heard what you said, go right ahead
Baby it's the last time, no longer will you be mine
Babe it's the last time we'll love
Oh girl it is the last time, you will no longer be mine
It is the last time we will love, baby, baby, yeah
It is the last time, no longer will you be mine




It is the last time we'll love... (to fade)

Overall Meaning

The song "Last Time" by Russ Ballard is a ballad about a heartbreaking goodbye between two people who are in love, but must go their separate ways. The first verse sets the scene of the rainy streets and the urgency of leaving, indicating that they may have been meeting in secret. The chorus reveals the painful reality that this is the last time they will be together and love each other. The second verse shows acceptance and resignation as the singer tells the woman to leave and gets the car. The repetition of the line "But it still seems so crazy to me" implies that the singer cannot comprehend the whole situation.


The emotional intensity of the song comes from the sense of inevitability and finality, as the lovers know this is the last time they will be together. It is a song about coming to terms with the end of a relationship, the painful goodbyes, and the bittersweet memories left behind. The song's power comes from the poignant lyrics and the melancholic melody that follows them.
