Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Last Time" by Giveon are a reflection of a complicated and unstable romantic relationship. The opening lines of the song are a plea for the singer's lover to come over despite knowing that they shouldn't. The singer then acknowledges that they keep going back to their lover's arms, but it's getting old, and they don't like the constant back and forth. However, the temptation is too strong, and they state that they want their lover just as they are and don't want to fight back.


The chorus of the song is a plea for their lover to come over for the last time because they don't want to regret it or overthink it. The singer acknowledges that the relationship is complicated, and there is a high likelihood of them leaving by the night's end. The second verse is from the perspective of the lover, who acknowledges that they also keep saying, "I love you" to the singer so that they don't leave. They, too, are willing to let the singer stay despite the knowledge that the relationship might not work out.
