One More Day
Cameron Avery Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be mine
Deep end staycation
And I′ll try to be your
Weekday persuasion

Pilot my palms around your curves
I'll do what I can
I can′t stop the world from turning
If only for one more day

I'm picking only deep red carnations
I'm calling down for your real intentions
Pay me a feeling that I won′t forget
Your voice in the cover, trains overhead
Write you a somber closing birth

I′ll do what I can
I can't stop the world from turning
If only for one more day

Was it just a dance we could have heard?
You gave me a chance
I messed up the verse
You are all that I see as I′m falling to earth
I'm all I can be

I can′t stop the world from turning




If only for one more day
If only for one more day

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cameron Avery's song, One More Day, offer a poignant and sentimental reflection on love, longing, and the fleeting nature of time. The opening lines of the song, "Be mine, deep end staycation, and I'll try to be your weekday persuasion", are inviting and suggestive, indicating an attraction that has captured the singer's imagination. Moreover, the singer's desire to "pilot [their] palms around your curves" conveys a sense of physical intimacy and vulnerability, suggesting that the attraction runs deeper than mere surface-level infatuation.


However, the next lines, "I can't stop the world from turning if only for one more day", reveal a sense of desperation and longing, as if the singer is acutely aware of the fleeting nature of time and wishes to extend the moment indefinitely. This idea is reinforced in the subsequent lines, "I'm picking only deep red carnations, I'm calling down for your real intentions, pay me a feeling that I won't forget", which convey a sense of urgency and the desire to make the moment as meaningful as possible.


The finale of the song, "If only for one more day", is a mournful and sorrowful echo of the song's central theme, emphasizing the singer's deep desire for the moment to last longer. The lyrics of One More Day capture the essence of a fleeting and intense attraction, with moments of hope, yearning, and nostalgia that ultimately evoke a sense of bittersweet loss.
