Game Over
The Last Year Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I could run, run home (run home)
Game Over
I'm sorry
You shouldn't wait upon me I've lost so forget it
You got your life so go get it
This is the chance I've waited for
Maybe today you can tell me I'm done, I'm free
Game Over
I'm sorry
You shouldn't wait upon me
I've lost so forget it
You got your life so go get it
One day he'll look into your eyes
And speak the words that I spoke so many times.
One day he'll look into your eyes
And speak the words that I spoke so many times.
One day he'll look into your eyes
And speak the words that I spoke so many times!
The lyrics to "Game Over" by The Last Year convey a sense of finality and regret, as the singer comes to terms with the end of a relationship. The opening lines set the tone, with the singer stating that they are "alone" with their thoughts. They express a desire to "run home," which could be interpreted as a longing for the comfort of familiarity or a return to a time before the relationship ended.
The repeated refrain of "Game Over" serves as a metaphor for the relationship coming to a definitive end, with no possibility of restarting or continuing. The singer apologizes, acknowledging that their actions contributed to the demise of the relationship, and encourages their former partner to move on with their life. However, the final verse shifts focus to an imagined future where someone else will take the singer's place, speaking the same words of love that they once did.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a recognition that the end of a relationship is often painful, but necessary for both parties to move forward with their lives. The repeated insistence to "go get it" reinforces the idea that life moves on and there is always something new to pursue.
