One More Red Light
Cassadee Pope Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I got your jacket on
Hanging off my shoulder
Hose down that restaurant
'Cause the going out's
supposed to be over
You go out of your way
To show me where you're working
I feel you hit the brakes,
waiting on the green to turn
yellow
Since we said hello,
time's been flying
Don't wanna let go
so let's find

One more red light
Let's keep it going
Take another lap around this town
Another slide over to your side
Stealing kisses, baby,
I just wanna drag it out
Let's take the long way home
Nice and slow
before we have to say goodnight
Let's find
one more red light
Let's find
one more red light

Who cares if we hold up
a little bit of late night traffic?
If they flash their brights at us
Roll your window down,
just wave 'em all around us
Baby, I'm down to take our time
Let's keep on driving till we find

One more red light
Let's keep it going
Take another lap around this town
Another slide over to your side
Stealing kisses, baby,
I just wanna drag it out
Let's take the long way home
Nice and slow
before we have to say goodnight
Let's find
one more red light
Let's find
one more red light

We could stop,
lean on in
Thirty seconds of you lips
Until the lights
turn back to green
Hands off the wheel,
holdin' on to me
Hold on to me
yeah
One more red light
Let's keep it going
Take another lap around this town
Another slide over to your side
Stealing kisses, baby,
I just wanna drag it out
Let's take the long way home
Nice and slow
before we have to say goodnight
Baby, let's find
one more red light
Let's find
one more red light
Let's find
one more red light




Oh, let's find
one more red light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Cassadee Pope's song "One More Red Light" depict two people simply enjoying each other's company and not wanting the night to end. The song tells a story of a couple driving around town, stopping at red lights and taking the long way home. The singer is wearing the jacket of her love interest, and they have just finished eating at a restaurant, while the night is supposed to be over. However, the couple is not ready to say goodnight yet. Despite being in a hurry, the singer's love interest waits patiently at every red light to prolong their time together.


The song portrays the idea of living in the moment and enjoying the little things in life. Instead of rushing through life and letting moments pass us by, we must cherish and enjoy them, even if it means being a little late. The singer and her love interest steal kisses at every stop, and the song talks about how they don't care about the people honking their horns behind them. They are content living in their own little bubble, taking the long way home, and finding one more red light. The song's hopeful tone emphasizes the idea of savoring the moment with the person you love.


Overall, "One More Red Light" is a feel-good song that reminds us to live in the moment and appreciate the little things in life, such as finding one more red light. Life is fleeting, and we should make the most of every moment we get to spend with the people we love.
