We only pressed 500 copies." - Cipher

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I have to make a move to somewhere miles away
The only hope we've got is just to smile and pray
Another lesson learned
Another page is turned
Give into your desire, say goodbye or play with fire, play with fire you'll get burned
Another lesson learned
It's time I have to fly and then you say those precious words
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
You make me lose my focus and the time of day
Just one minute in your arms, the night, it flies away
Another lesson learned

Give into your desire, say goodbye or play with fire, play with fire you'll get burned

I'm falling for you, you've fallen for me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
I'm falling for you, you've fallen for me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
Oh I think loving you could be so easy
Oh I think loving you could be so easy
I rate that heavenly girl, she's a keeper
Should be taking her home, make it deeper
Take that leisurely stroll by the beach
Then I've gotta leave country, now apply Visa
I'm gonna bottle our love, take a litre
See you in a couple of weeks
We're like a couple of freaks in Ibiza
Even if we're sat on the sofa, you just won me over
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
Stay with me
Stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
I'm falling for you, you've fallen for me
Stay with me, stay with me for just one more day
I'm falling for you, you've fallen for me

Example's song "One More Day" is about a man who has to leave his lover and move somewhere miles away. He pours out his heart to her and asks for just one more day together before he must finally leave. He acknowledges that the only thing they can do is hope and pray and feel grateful for the time they've had together. The song is a plea to stay with him, even if it's just for one more day, because he has fallen for her and loves her so much.
The lyrics are powerful and heartfelt, and they capture the pain of having to leave someone you love. The song's chorus repeats the phrase "Stay with me" over and over, emphasizing the man's desperation and longing for his lover's company. He knows he has to leave, but he wants to savor every moment they have left together.
