One More Night
Candace Devine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wonder now if we ever were
You know me so much better
Then to think I could just say goodbye
Though I know I should
If you wanna go
Baby I'll let you go
Til I'm a little bit stronger
Give me one more kiss
Give me one more night
Lie to me make believe everything's gonna be alright
Just give me
One more night
You tell me I'll find another
You make it sound so damn easy
But in my eyes there ain't no other
I just need I just need I just need a little more time
Give me one more kiss
Give me one more night
Lie to me make believe everything's gonna be alright
Just give me
One more night to forget everything you regret baby
Show me, teach me, tell me what I'm supposed to do
Yeah...
Give me one more kiss
Give me one more night
Lie to me, make believe everything's gonna be alright
Give me one more kiss
Give me one more night
Lie to me, make believe everything's gonna be alright
Just give me
One more night
In these lyrics, Candace Devine expresses her conflicted emotions and desires regarding a failing relationship. She acknowledges that she and her partner are not good together and questions if they ever truly were compatible. Despite recognizing this truth, she feels a strong connection and intimacy with her partner, which makes it difficult for her to let go and say goodbye.
The chorus of the song highlights her plea for her partner to stay just a little longer, as she hopes to find strength within herself to eventually let them go. She craves one more night with her partner, even if it means living in a lie and pretending everything will be alright. She longs for the temporary comfort and solace that their presence brings, desiring to temporarily forget the troubles and regrets that burden their relationship.
Despite her partner's reassurances that she will find someone else, Candace Devine refuses to believe it. In her eyes, there is no one else for her, and she just needs a little more time to figure things out. She yearns for her partner to show, teach, and tell her what she should do in order to salvage their relationship or find closure.
The repetitive plea in the chorus to give her one more night reflects the internal struggle and desperation Candace feels. She hopes that by prolonging their connection, she may find a resolution or the strength to move on. Even though deep down she knows the relationship is not healthy or sustainable, she clings to the fleeting moments of love and intimacy, desperately seeking a temporary escape from her reality.
Line by Line Meaning
I know we're no good together
I acknowledge that we are not compatible or meant to be in a relationship
I wonder now if we ever were
I'm questioning if our relationship was ever truly genuine or meant to last
You know me so much better
You have a deep understanding of who I am as a person
Then to think I could just say goodbye
It is unrealistic for me to believe that I can easily end our relationship
Though I know I should
Despite being aware that it's the right thing to do, it's difficult for me to let go
If you wanna go
If you truly want to leave
Baby I'll let you go
I will allow you to leave without holding onto you
But if you could stay a little longer
If you could extend our time together for a bit more
Til I'm a little bit stronger
Until I gain some emotional strength and resilience
Give me one more kiss
Offer me the affection of one last kiss
Give me one more night
Grant me the opportunity to have one more night together
Lie to me make believe everything's gonna be alright
Tell me comforting falsehoods and make me believe that everything will be fine
Just give me
Please give me
One more night
One additional night together
You tell me I'll find another
You assure me that I will find another person to be with
You make it sound so damn easy
You make it seem effortless or simple to move on
But in my eyes there ain't no other
From my perspective, there is no one else like you
I just need I just need I just need a little more time
I simply require some additional time to process my emotions and thoughts
One more night to forget everything you regret baby
I desire one last night to distract myself from all the regrets associated with you, my love
Show me, teach me, tell me what I'm supposed to do
I'm pleading for guidance and instruction on how to navigate this situation
Lie to me, make believe everything's gonna be alright
Deceive me by pretending that everything will be okay
