Out of Goodbyes
Maroon 5 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Maroon 5's song Out of Goodbyes speak of a difficult and painful separation between two people who were once close. Though actions may speak louder than words, the words that the woman speaks to the man hurt him deeply. He finds himself waiting for her to lock the door, but she never does. The man realizes on their way home that there is a storm brewing in the woman's eyes, though she tries to hide it. The two of them are out of goodbyes and cannot continue their relationship any longer.


The man expresses that he never asked the woman to change, but sadly she does not feel the same way about him. He wonders if her current man still shudders when she touches his hand, like he did. The two of them are out of goodbyes and must find a way to move on.


The lyrics speak to the pain and difficulty of letting go of someone who was once an important part of your life. Both people must try to move on, even though it is a painful and difficult process. The song is a reminder that sometimes, despite our best efforts, relationships come to an end.

I wonder if your current partner still feels that electricity when you touch him


Like this man
Like I used to feel when we were together
