Last Chance
Lady Antebellum/Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sure that he could give you everything
Stability and diamond rings
All the things I do not have
I understand you can't handle that
But for everything that I lack
I provide something you almost had
Hot flesh that you yearn to grab
Pit of your stomach you're still so sad

So oh, what you gonna do.
I'm in love with you
Don't you wanna dance
This might be the last chance
That I get, to love you, oh oh oh

Out of sight, not out of mind
You want the world, I'll give you mine
'Cause you're the girl I'll never find
And I'm the boy you left behind
I know you think you're satisfied
And God knows how hard we tried
But if you showed up at my door
I could give you so much more oh

Oh, what you gonna do
I'm in love with you
Don't you wanna dance
This may be the last chance
That I get, to love you, oh oh oh

Oh, what am I gonna do
I don't have to lose
You're not making sense
This might be the last chance
That you get to love me, oh

You sure don't make it easy
To get myself to safety
You tell me that I'm crazy
But you're the one who makes me this way
You call me so impulsive
But that's what makes us so explosive

So as I burn these photographs
I wonder if you kept the ones you have
Keep them locked up somewhere safe
Since it's the only place you'll see my face

Oh, what you gonna do
I'm in love with you
Why don't you wanna dance
'Cause this might be the last chance
That I get to love you, oh oh oh
Oh, what am I gonna do
I don't like to lose
You're not making sense
'Cause this may be the last chance
That you get to love me, oh

This may be the last chance that I get to love you, oh




This may be the last chance that I get to love you, oh oh oh
To love you, oh oh oh

So as I burn these photographs
As I destroy these picture memories.

I speculate whether you still hold onto our past memories.


Keep them locked up somewhere safe
You hold our past memories in a protected place.


Since it's the only place you'll see my face
You can only visualize me through these stored pictures.


This may be the last chance that I get to love you, oh
This could be the final opportunity to express my love for you.

Tell me actions speak louder
But there's something about her words, that hurt
Closing up and it's so late and
I'm the last one still waiting for ya, to lock the door

On our way home I realize
There's some kind of storm brewing in his eyes
Only veiled by a thin disguise

Now that I've done my time
I need to move on and I need you to try
'Cause we're out of goodbyes
We're out of goodbyes, out of goodbyes

Never asked you to change
But sadly, you don't feel the same, about me
I wonder does your man still shudder when you touch his hand
Like this man

On our way home I realize
There's some kind of storm brewing in his eyes
Only veiled by a thin disguise

Now that I've done my time
I need to move on and I need you to try
'Cause we're out of goodbyes (out of goodbyes)
We're out of goodbyes (out of goodbyes)
We're out of goodbyes (out of goodbyes)
Oh, ooh

Out Of Goodbyes with Lady Antebellum

Maroon 5

Tell me actions speak louder
But there's something about her words, that hurt
Closing up and it's so late and
I'm the last one still waiting for ya, to lock the door

On our way home I realize
There's some kind of storm brewing in his eyes
Only veiled by a thin disguise

Now that I've done my time
I need to move on and I need you to try
'Cause we're out of goodbyes
We're out of goodbyes, out of goodbyes

Never asked you to change
But sadly you don't feel the same, about me
I wonder does your man still shudder when you touch his hand
Like this man

On our way home I realize
There's some kind of storm brewing in his eyes
Only veiled by a thin disguise

Now that I've done my time
I need to move on and I need you to try
'Cause we're out of goodbyes
We're out of goodbyes, we're out of goodbyes, we're out of goodbyes
Oh, ooh
