Last Goodbye
Clean Bandit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't let up 'til your hearts on the floor
Losing our minds, scream and we shout
'Til we forget what we fighting about
Turns me into a monster
We're no good for each other
Lying in bed, miles apart
We're side by side and alone in the dark
There's no going back
Back to when things were easy
But there's something that I'd like to do
Right before you leave me
If this really is the end
Then why don't you please come back to bed
Come on and spend the night
And let's say our last goodbye
Baby don't walk away
Don't wanna remember you this way
Come on and spend the night
And let's say our last goodbye
I twist a nerve, I know it hurts
It's time to stop boy we both make it worse
Tossing and turns, you get no sleep
I speculate on the secrets you keep
Turn him into a monster
We're no good for each other
We should be done, both of us know
Deep down the truth is we're better alone
There's no going back
Back to when things were easy
But there's something that I'd like to do
Right before you leave me
Like we're just crying off a liquor kiss
Spring my g-string
Forget about the phone when I ring
Grooving at the backseat, move up on me
I will not forget anything
Then we heading up from the guns go pow
It's been only 50 seconds
I've been all up on you now
It's so sad to see that we couldn't be all up in the clouds
And it's the last time I'll be all up in your mouth
The ting where we have, we have fly, we're not shy, when I cry
There's no going back
Back to when things were easy
But there's something that I'd like to do
Right before you leave me
If this really is the end
Then why don't you please come back to bed
Come on and spend the night
And let's say our last goodbye
Baby don't walk away
Don't wanna remember you this way
Come on and spend the night
And let's say our last goodbye
The song Last Goodbye by Clean Bandit, Tove Styrke and Stefflon Don is about a crumbling relationship that has reached the point of no return. The first verse talks about an argument where both parties are yelling at each other, but they don't stop until their hearts are on the floor. The lyrics refer to someone turning into a monster, which could mean that the anger and resentment are consuming them. The line "We're no good for each other" highlights the realization that the relationship has passed its expiration date. In the second verse, the singer admits to provoking the other person and causing them pain. They toss and turn, unable to sleep, and suspect that their partner is keeping secrets from them. The chorus then repeats the idea that the relationship is over and that the two people would be better off alone.
Despite knowing that the end of the relationship is near, the singer is not ready to let go. They ask their partner to come back to bed and spend the night, so they can say their last goodbye. The bridge contains a rap verse by Stefflon Don, where she references dancing in the backseat, forgetting about phone calls, and being up in the clouds. The final chorus reinforces the idea that the end is near, but the singer doesn't want to remember their relationship ending in such a negative way.
Line by Line Meaning
I raise my voice, you slam the door
I start an argument and you storm out in anger
I don't let up 'til your heart's on the floor
I keep pushing until you're emotionally defeated
Losing our minds, scream and we shout
We're both so consumed by anger that we can't think clearly
'Til we forget what we're fighting about
Our anger has overtaken the original issue and it's no longer clear why we're fighting
Turns me into a monster
Our fighting brings out the worst in me
We're no good for each other
Our relationship is unhealthy
Lying in bed, miles apart
Physically close but emotionally disconnected
We're side by side and alone in the dark
We're together but both feeling isolated
There's no going back
We can't fix what's already broken
Back to when things were easy
To a time when our relationship wasn't this complicated
But there's something that I'd like to do
I want to make one last attempt to salvage our relationship
Right before you leave me
Before you give up on us entirely
If this really is the end
If our relationship has reached its breaking point
Then why don't you please come back to bed
Let's try to reconnect physically and emotionally
Come on and spend the night
Let's spend one more night together
And let's say our last goodbye
Let's end things with some closure
Baby don't walk away
Don't leave me without saying goodbye
Don't wanna remember you this way
I don't want this fight to be our last memory
I twist a nerve, I know it hurts
I deliberately push your buttons and it's painful for both of us
It's time to stop boy we both make it worse
We need to end the cycle of fighting because it only makes things worse
Tossing and turns, you get no sleep
Our problems are keeping you up at night
I speculate on the secrets you keep
I'm suspicious of you and what you might be hiding
Turn him into a monster
Our fighting brings out the worst in you too
We should be done, both of us know
We both know it's time to end things
Deep down the truth is we're better alone
We're not good for each other and we'll both be happier apart
Like we're just crying off a liquor kiss
Our relationship is fueled by alcohol and isn't genuine
Spring my g-string
A suggestive line about getting intimate
Forget about the phone when I ring
Ignore any distractions and focus on being together
Grooving at the backseat, move up on me
Another intimate and suggestive line
I will not forget anything
I want to make this last night together memorable
Then we're heading up from the guns go pow
A sexually suggestive line about climaxing
It's been only 50 seconds
Another suggestive line about how quickly it will happen
I've been all up on you now
We're physically close and intimate
It's so sad to see that we couldn't be all up in the clouds
We could have had something great but we let our fighting ruin it
And it's the last time I'll be all up in your mouth
A suggestive and final line about this being the last night together
The ting where we have, we have fly, we're not shy, when I cry
A nonsensical line that doesn't have a clear meaning

God bless clean bandit for blessing our ears with good music.
maksphoto78
They are just brilliant. Torch-bearers of Abba and Ace of Base, Dr Alban, etc. (You know if you grew up in the 80s and 90s)
Superjelo
@maksphoto78 i know dr alban. well, because he's nigerian originally i guess and his songs where played here in the early 2000s but my folks already knew him from listening to him in europe. they brought me back from europe as a baby.
Superjelo
@maksphoto78 thanks for the insight☺️

No words can describe my love for this album.

Always good seeing Tove Styrke in more songs, love her music. This isn't the most original thing I've heard from her or Clean Bandit but the reggae influence adds a really cool touch.
maksphoto78
As someone who grew up on the 90s music, especially Ace of Base, this hits all the right spots for me. Do check out Ace of Base hits, like The Sign, Living in Danger, and others.
