Song Meaning of “The Last Time Around” by Dwight Twilley
The Last Time Around by Dwight Twilley tells of a long-term relationship coming to an end. The two parties have been together for a long time, although they now understand that their time together has come to an end. There is sadness in this realization, but also a acceptance of the inevitable. The song speaks to the feelings of remorse for wasted time, as well as a hope for the future, as each person moves on in their separate directions. The chorus speaks to the sad parting “It’s the last time around, no more going out and no more coming back, we just keep going on.” It speaks to the understanding that no matter how difficult it is to take that last step, it must be done. The narrator reflects that life can move on, and they can still have fond memories of the past, even though it is now gone forever.
