I think it's maybe about being insecure about themselves or the relationship they are in, not that that is a necesarilly a good thing. But one person needing their partner to tell them they are loved, and testing them to see how genuine they are.
And I may be wrong, but i think the real lyrics are "the lost city of you" not "last", it just sounds like last. Makes much more sense that way anyway, and dempsey's not one for imperfection in writing!
