Last Time
R.J Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Under this sun that's fit for a king
I'm up against the rock
I could have been anywhere else in the world
I'm holding down this spot
Nothing came close
And nothing looked good
I'm out there on the edge
On the toe of it all
A castle keeps an eye on the bay
Under sheets of haze

Somewhere down there with the crashing waves
You kept plans for your grand escape
And I won't see you no more
You'll just hear me

'Cause I will scream
Send it out to sea
I will live a mile beyond
A mile beyond that heart of yours
Is broken, ain't it torn
So you will leave for the last time
For the last time

She set out one night for a place she'd never been
Oh sweet, my love
How does it end?
Did you find another house in the sun?
Did you fall in love?
You set sail
But did not fail me
Are you coming back again?
Or have you run like I did?
It's the last time you're gonna do it again

It's in your blood just to say goodbye
This time not for a while
So find your heaven, go on
You don't need me

So I will scream
Send it out to sea
And I will live a mile beyond
A mile beyond that heart of yours
Broken, ain't it torn
So you will leave for the last time
For the last time

Coming to you in the middle of a cold night
Can't arrest the sun but I've been trying
I hear a song floating off a tidal wave
It's alright, it's alright
Nothing gonna touch you when you've said goodbye
It's alright, it's alright
A million lost souls looking just like me
Waiting on their love but they don't believe

There's a million lost souls looking just like me
Waiting on permission but they don't believe

I will scream
And send it out to sea
Somewhere between the rock face
And the place that I used to know you more
Waiting on the shore
As you leave for the last time
I will see you leave for the last time




Until I breathe for the last time
And then I will leave for the last time

Line by Line Meaning

Under this sun that's fit for a king
I am in a magnificent place, worthy of royalty


I'm up against the rock
I am facing a challenge, a difficult situation


I could have been anywhere else in the world
I had other options, but I chose to be here


I'm holding down this spot
I am staying here and not leaving


Nothing came close
Nothing could match what I have here


And nothing looked good
No other option seemed attractive


I'm out there on the edge
I am taking risks and pushing boundaries


On the toe of it all
I am at the brink, the very edge of it all


A castle keeps an eye on the bay
There is a majestic structure watching over the water


Under sheets of haze
The view is somewhat obscured by a layer of mist or fog


Somewhere down there with the crashing waves
In a location close to the pounding surf


You kept plans for your grand escape
You had intentions of leaving this place


And I won't see you no more
You are gone and I will not be seeing you again


You'll just hear me
You will only hear my voice


'Cause I will scream
I will shout out my feelings


Send it out to sea
My message will be carried away by the ocean


I will live a mile beyond
I will persevere and move on, leaving this behind me


A mile beyond that heart of yours
I will leave behind the emotional pain you caused me


Broken, ain't it torn
My heart is damaged and hurting


So you will leave for the last time
You will depart for good


She set out one night for a place she'd never been
She embarked on a journey to an unfamiliar destination


Oh sweet, my love
Expressing fondness or affection


How does it end?
What will be the conclusion to this story?


Did you find another house in the sun?
Did you find a new home in a sunny location?


Did you fall in love?
Did you develop feelings for someone?


You set sail
You began your journey


But did not fail me
You did not disappoint or let me down


Are you coming back again?
Will you return to where you came from?


Or have you run like I did?
Did you leave because you were running away, like I did?


It's the last time you're gonna do it again
This is the final time you will repeat this action


It's in your blood just to say goodbye
You have a tendency to leave or say farewell


This time not for a while
This departure will be for a considerable amount of time


So find your heaven, go on
Find your happy place and move on


You don't need me
You can do it on your own, without my help


Coming to you in the middle of a cold night
This message is being delivered late, in a time of discomfort


Can't arrest the sun but I've been trying
Trying to control something that cannot be controlled


I hear a song floating off a tidal wave
Hearing a haunting or powerful piece of music


It's alright, it's alright
Everything will be okay


Nothing gonna touch you when you've said goodbye
Once you have departed from something, it will no longer affect you


A million lost souls looking just like me
There are many people feeling similar emotions to myself


Waiting on their love but they don't believe
Hoping for love, but lacking faith in its possibility


Waiting on permission but they don't believe
Hoping for external approval or validation, but lacking faith in self


Somewhere between the rock face
In a place of difficulty or challenge


And the place that I used to know you more
Between the present and a former time of familiarity with you


Waiting on the shore
Anticipating something or someone's arrival on the beach


As you leave for the last time
You are departing permanently


I will see you leave for the last time
I will witness your final departure


Until I breathe for the last time
Until my last breath, I will remember this moment


And then I will leave for the last time
Inevitably, I too will eventually depart
