One Night
Jesse McCartney Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I traded in the limelight?
What would you say
If I threw it all away just to be with you for one night?
What would I turn your head back?
Would you take my hand?
Cause' you knocked my senseless
Girl, I will do anything
For just one night
We only got one night
I'm looking in your eyes
They're taking me over
Girl just one night,
We've only got one night
Till we see the sunrise
Before it's all over
Tonight fades away
In my arms you will stay
For this one night
We've only got one night
This is our last night
Before it's all over
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
What if I told you that I have always loved you and never got a fair shot?
What if you knew that when I look at you with someone else,
It makes my heart stop?
But would you keep me chasing?
Would you play it cool?
Girl won't you give me something?
Cause I've given everything
For just one night
We only got one night
I'm looking in your eyes
They're taking me over
Girl just one night,
We've only got one night
Till we see the sunrise
Before it's all over
Tonight fades away
In my arms you will stay
For this one night
We've only got one night
This is our last night
Before it's all over
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
I can't find peace without you
I can't feel nothing' when you're gone
I want this earth to find you
Now here we are
For just one night
We only got one night
I'm looking in your eyes
They're taking me over
Girl just one night,
We've only got one night
Till we see the sunrise
Before it's all over
Tonight fades away
In my arms you will stay
For this one night
We've only got one night
This is our last night
Before it's all over
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
I can't find peace without you
I can't feel nothing' when you're gone
I want this earth to find you
Now here we are
For just one night
We only got one night
I'm looking in your eyes
They're taking me over
Girl just one night,
We've only got one night
Till we see the sunrise
Before it's all over
Tonight fades away
In my arms you will stay
For this one night
We've only got one night
This is our last night
Before it's all over
Whoa oh oh oh
Whoa oh oh oh
In Jesse McCartney's song One Night, the lyrics seem to speak about a person who is willing to give up everything in exchange for a single night with someone they desire. The first verse suggests that this person wants to give up their life in the limelight to be with this special someone. The second verse reveals that the person has always loved the other but never had a fair shot. They are asking the other person to give them a chance and not make them chase after them. The chorus repeats the sentiment that they only have one night together and they want to make the most of it before it's all over.
The lyrics evoke a sense of urgency and desperation, as if this one night is the only chance for the person to be with the one they desire. The repetition of the phrase "we only got one night" emphasizes the fleeting nature of their time together. The use of rhetorical questions in the verses is also effective in conveying the idea that the person is willing to do anything to be with this special someone.
Overall, One Night is a song about seizing the moment and taking a chance on love even if it means giving up everything else.
