Just For One Night
Emin Lyrics

Another city, another hotel room
The musician is in a different city on tour and staying in yet another hotel room.

Can't sleep, a thousand miles from you
The musician is unable to sleep since they are far away from the person they love.

And I can't cry. Why?
Despite feeling sad, the musician is unable to cry and is questioning why they cannot express their emotions.

Living fast at the speed of sound
The musician's lifestyle is fast and hectic, with constant traveling and performances.

Blinding lights, feet won't touch the ground
The musician is constantly in the spotlight and the excitement is keeping them on a high.

And I can't cry, you know why.
The musician is still unable to cry and the person they are addressing knows the reason behind it.

Cos we're worlds apart in the crowded place
Despite being in the same location as others, the musician feels distant due to being separated from their loved one.

And I can't reach out, nothing makes no sense
The musician cannot connect with anyone despite being surrounded by countless people and is struggling to understand why.

Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now...
The musician is hoping that the person they are addressing can hear their cries for help.

Just for one night
The musician wishes for only a single night with the person they love.

I'd promise you anything
The musician is willing to do anything if it means being able to spend just one night with their loved one.

If I close my eyes, leave the world behind -
The musician is willing to forget about everything else and focus only on the person they love for one night.

And you're here again
The musician is imagining their loved one being there with them for one night.

Nothing will hold me back
The musician will not allow anything to prevent them from experiencing one night with the person they love.

I would breathe you in, I would feel again
The musician is longing to be close to their loved one and feel the emotion and passion of their relationship once more.

For one last time
The musician knows that it may be their last chance to be with their loved one, even if only for a single night.

The sound of sirens screaming in my head
The musician is overcome with anxiety and restless thoughts, with sirens representing the chaotic nature of their mind.

I'm going crazy, turning in my bed,
The musician is unable to relax and feels like they are losing their mind while in bed.

I'll lose my mind, you know why
The musician believes that they will go insane if unable to be with their loved one again.

Cos we're all alone in a crowded place
Despite being surrounded by others, the musician still feels alone and distant due to their separation from their loved one.

But there's no one here who can take your place
The musician believes that no one else can replace the person they love.

Can you save me now? Can you save me now...
The musician is desperately asking their loved one to save them from their current state of mind.

How can I live without you in my life
The musician cannot imagine living their life without their loved one by their side.

How can I think when you're on my mind
The musician is unable to focus on anything else while their thoughts are consumed by their loved one.

Cos I need you now...
The musician is expressing their deep need and desire for their loved one.

Oh I wanna hold you now...
The musician is longing to embrace their loved one once again.
