One Too Far
Jack + Eliza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just like you knew I would
Taking it one too far
Only you knew I could
And we know it'll last
Babe [?] to me
All you were waiting for
Taking it one too far
Only you knew I could
And you know it'll last
Babe [?] to me
I feel better when the saints allow it, allow it
I feel better when the saints allow it, allow it
All you were waiting for
Just like you knew I would
Taking it one too far
Only you knew I could
And you know it'll last
Babe [?] to me
The lyrics to Jack + Eliza's song One Too Far suggest a sense of familiarity and understanding between two individuals. The first stanza talks about how the second person (presumably the romantic partner) knew all along that the first person was going to take things too far, but they went along with it anyway, knowing that it would last between them. The next stanza repeats the same lyrics, emphasizing the inevitability and mutual understanding between the two of them.
The third stanza introduces the idea that the singer feels better when the saints allow it. It is unclear what exactly this means, but it could be interpreted as seeking forgiveness or validation from a higher power or authority figure. Perhaps this feeling of relief ties into the previous lyrics about taking things too far, as though the singer is seeking absolution for their actions. Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a relationship that is unorthodox but strong, with both partners understanding and accepting each other's quirks and shortcomings.

If anyone is still listening to this (like me lmao) and is wondering where they went, they have a new band called "Purr" and they're still posting music! :)
