One Last Time
August Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh baby, baby
How was I supposed to know
That something wasn't right here
Oh baby, baby
I shouldn't have let you go
And now you're out of sight, yeah
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby
'Cause I need to know now what we've got

[Chorus]
My loneliness is killing me
I must confess, I still believe
(Still believe)
When I'm not with you I lose my mind
Give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time

Oh baby, baby
The reason I breathe is you
Girl you got me blinded
Oh baby, baby
There's nothing that I wouldn't do
That's not the way I planned it
Show me, how you want it to be
Tell me baby
'Cause I need to know now what we've got

[Chorus]

I must confess that my loneliness
Is killing me now
Don't you know I still believe
That you will be here
And give me a sign
Hit me baby one more time





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

August Burns Red's cover of Britney Spears' iconic hit "Baby One More Time" is a different take on the original pop song. The lyrics delve into the story of someone who still longs for a past lover and cannot move on from the heartbreak. The first verse establishes the singer's confusion about what went wrong in the relationship, and they admit that they made a mistake by letting their lover go. They ask their former partner to give them a sign that they still have a chance to reconcile.


The chorus emphasizes the pain of loneliness that they feel when they are not with their lover, even though they acknowledge that the relationship was flawed. The line "I still believe" expresses their hopefulness that the relationship can be salvaged, despite their conflicting emotions. The second verse repeats their devotion to their lover, admitting that they are blinded by their love, and they would do anything to win them back.


The song concludes with a repetition of the chorus, ending with the plea for their old lover to hit them baby one more time, indicating their willingness to give the relationship a second chance. August Burns Red's version of the song is an emotive, heavy metal cover that highlights the raw emotions expressed in the lyrics.

Lyrics: August x Kuur x Paperwings x Wolfhowl - One Last Time

I don't know why you would call me back
I thought we ended it all last night
You're lighting up what we just had left
You're making everything seem alright

I donโ€™t know how you donโ€™t realize, Oh
You're tearing up what we had revived, sso many times
I promise, I canโ€™t just let you go, no.
Just rip my clothes of, throw me back out, I canโ€™t hold back no more

I am so worn out
Feeling like weโ€™re pulling left and right
But I just somehow
Keep on falling back into this mess

Iโ€™m tearing up my self
Even though I know thereโ€™s not much left
But I just donโ€™t care
I gotta see you one last time

So weโ€™re back in that same old bed
Feeling just like when we first met
You look so good around 6 AM
Letโ€™s just stay a while, letโ€™s pretend

I donโ€™t know how i could be so blind, oh
I canโ€™t believe I just pressed rewind, yet one more time
Iโ€™m sorry I canโ€™t just let you go, no
I ripped your clothes off, threw you back out, couldnโ€™t hold back no more

I am so worn out
Feeling like weโ€™re pulling left and right
But I just somehow
Keep on falling back into this mess

Iโ€™m tearing up my self
Even though I know thereโ€™s not much left
But I just donโ€™t care
I gotta see you one last time

I am so worn out
Feeling like weโ€™re pulling left and right
But I just somehow
Keep on falling back into this mess

Iโ€™m tearing up my self
Even though I know thereโ€™s not much left
But I just donโ€™t care
I gotta see you one last time
