Last Call
The Reklaws Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Say it, go ahead and blur those lines
You might be nervous, you've still got to earn it
One drink, I'm gone
Boy you'll regret it, wishin' you had said it when the lights come on
All my friends are goin' home, ain't no time to take it slow
Where this goes, we'll never know if you don't get my number
Sparks are flyin' all night
It wasn't just the neon signs
Don't you wanna roll the dice so you don't have to wonder
Last dance, last song, last chance to fall
Last glance, last shot, la la la last call
I know we're young and this bar is closing soon
But where I come from, a girl never makes the first move
The bands stop playin', I'm just sayin'
Yeah you're on the clock
Boy don't think, put down that drink
Tick, tick, tick tock
All my friends are goin' home, ain't no time to take it slow
Where this goes, we'll never know if you don't get my number
Sparks are flyin' all night
It wasn't just the neon signs
Don't you wanna roll the dice so you don't have to wonder
Last dance, last song, la la la last chance to fall
Last glance, last shot, la la la last call
It might be a flame, it might be the real thing
Don't let me be the last to know
All my friends are goin' home, ain't no time to take it slow
Where this goes, we'll never know if you don't get my number
Sparks are flyin' all night
It wasn't just the neon signs
Don't you wanna roll the dice so you don't have to wonder
Last dance, last song, la la la last chance to fall
Last glance, last shot, la la la last call
Last dance, last song, last chance to fall
Last glance, last shot, la la la last call
The Reklaws's "Last Call" tells the story of a girl who is interested in a boy she meets at a bar, but she expects him to make the first move before the bar closes at 1 am. She's subtle with her hints, making it difficult for the boy to determine whether he should make a move or not. The girl emphasizes the urgency of the situation, telling the guy that he's running out of time, and he needs to make a decision soon. She encourages him to take a chance and ask for her number because she's interested, but if he doesn't, they might never see each other again.
The girl knows the bar is closing soon, further adding to the pressure of the moment. She insists that the guy doesn't waste any time and put down his drink, reminding him that time is ticking. She hints that sparks are flying and the attraction is obvious, suggesting the boy takes a chance and asks for her number before they lose contact forever. The song's chorus emphasizes the night is coming to an end, and this might be the last chance to make a move, and the girl encourages the boy to take that opportunity.
Overall, "Last Call" is a catchy and upbeat song that tells a familiar story of two people meeting in a bar and the pressure of making a move before the night ends.

Got tickets to see these two in July. So excited, it’s going to be the first concert I’ve ever gone to.

This is very reminiscent of the RHCP riffs and back-beats. Very beautifully done, especially for a 3-chord progression. You guys need an entire album just dedicated to this style of music, in addition to everything else.
