One Time
Christian Walz Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're getting ready
putting make up on your sexy face
an you look damned surprised
when wine falls to the floor
for no reason at all
I wait a little longer
as you feel it growing stronger
What if, I had a chance
to get down for some more
Do we have to be apart
Is this meant to break my heart
Chorus:
One time and never mind
I waste a little heaven on where I belong
Gonna do it somehow
One time and never mind
I sacrifice my glory not to be alone
I belive it somehow
Verse:
The future in our past time
is the prescense of our last time
You were by my side
What if I, I would have stayed...
Baby, Open the doors..
Do we have to be apart
This could mend my broken heart.
Chorus:
One time and never mind
I waste a little heaven on where I belong
Gonna do it somehow
One time and never mind
I sacrifice my glory not to be alone
I belive it somehow
The lyrics of "One Time" by Christian Walz explore the theme of missed opportunities in love. The singer admires and longs for their love interest who is getting ready and putting on make-up. However, the moment is disrupted when the wine falls to the floor for no reason at all. Despite this, the two are able to find their way back to each other, and the singer contemplates the possibility of the two of them being together. The second verse seems to be a reflection on a past time when the two were together, and the singer wonders what would have happened if they had stayed together. The chorus repeats the phrase "one time and never mind," which seems to suggest that the singer is willing to forego everything for one chance to be with their love interest. The singer sacrifices their own glory just to not be alone, believing that somehow this one chance could mend their broken heart.
Overall, the song expresses a sense of longing and yearning for love, and the idea of a missed opportunity that could have been something great if it had only been taken. The repeated phrase "one time and never mind" signifies a willingness to take the risk of going for what they want, despite the risks involved.
