Last Call
Khalid Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's not 2017 anymore
So you trust in a guy like me
To give you everything in store
We'll be riding 'round drop-top when it gets hot
Doing donuts in an empty lot like, "Whoa"
I'll give you the finer things
Where do we go?
Where do we stand?
In between a quick romance
Something that'll last long
Where do we go?
Will you take my hand?
Meet me for a final dance
Something like a last call
If this is worth it, I'm guessing
That we'll both find out in the end
You show me purpose and give me a presence
That I've never met
In this world full of hatred
Somehow I feel your innocence
I'll be patient, impatient
And I'll be patient, impatient
We'll be riding 'round drop-top when it gets hot
Doing donuts in an empty lot like, "Whoa"
I'll give you the finer things
Suddenly there's nothing worth comparing to your soul
(Tell me, where do we go?)
Where do we go?
Where do we stand?
In between a quick romance
Something that'll last long ('cause it don't last long, no)
Where do we go?
Will you take my hand?
Meet me for a final dance
Something like a last call
Where do we start?
Where do we start?
Where do we start?
Where do we start?
Where do we start?
Where do we start?
Where do we go?
Where do we stand?
In between a quick romance
Something that'll last long
Where do we go?
Will you take my hand?
Meet me for a final dance
Something like a last call

The song alludes to a sense of adventure and how sharing the small moments with someone can make life meaningful. The line “we’ll be riding ‘round drop-top when it gets hot” paints a picture of the carefree and spontaneous way of living that the singer wants to have with the person he is addressing in the song.
Khalid’s song talks about the fleeting nature of love and how it can be difficult to find something that lasts. The line “in between a quick romance, something that’ll last long” implies that the singer is looking for something real but it’s hard to find that kind of connection. The idea of a “final dance” creates a sense of urgency, as if the singer is telling the listener that they should appreciate what they have before it slips away.
