One More
Joshua Radin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We started the day the wrong way.
I go down, downtown try to turn you around,
The odyssey in me,
You say you don't need.
One last first mistake I want,
One last pill to take I need,
This isn't how it was supposed to end,
But suddenly you're following their trends.
I believed what you told,
But someday soon you will be sold.
One last first mistake I want
One last pill to take I need,
Give me one more.
One last first mistake I want
One last pill to take I need,
Give me one more.
One last first mistake I want
One last pill to take I need,
Give me one more.
In Joshua Radin's song "One More," the lyrics are about a relationship that is falling apart. The singer expresses their desire to fix things and make their partner understand how much they need them, even if it means making one last mistake before they're gone. The line "The thought of the curse, is the curse," can be interpreted as the idea that simply believing their relationship is doomed is what's causing it to fail. The singer tries to turn things around by going downtown, but their partner says they don't need this effort.
It seems that the singer is trying to hold onto their partner despite the reality that the relationship is ending. They lament that things are not going as planned and that their partner is following the trends of others. They had believed what their partner told them, but now it seems that they will soon be "sold" on the idea of ending things.
The repeated plea in the lyrics for "one last first mistake" and "one last pill to take" suggests the overwhelming desire to make things work, to try anything to get their partner to stay. It's a heartbreaking song of grasping at straws to save a relationship that is slipping away.
Line by Line Meaning
The thought of the curse, is the curse.
Just thinking about something bad happening can bring it upon yourself.
We started the day the wrong way.
Things didn't start off well today.
I go down, downtown try to turn you around,
I try to change your mind by talking things out.
The odyssey in me,
There's an adventure within me.
You say you don't need.
You claim not to want what I have to offer.
One last first mistake I want,
I want to make one final error in judgment, even if it leads to pain.
One last pill to take I need,
I need one last dose of something, even if it's harmful.
Give me one more.
Please, just let me have one more chance or one more thing.
This isn't how it was supposed to end,
Things didn't turn out the way I expected.
But suddenly you're following their trends.
You're now following the actions or opinions of others instead of your own.
I believed what you told,
I trusted what you said to be true.
But someday soon you will be sold.
Eventually, you'll sell out or betray your beliefs.
One last first mistake I want
I want to make one final error in judgment, even if it leads to pain.
One last pill to take I need
I need one last dose of something, even if it's harmful.
Give me one more.
Please, just let me have one more chance or one more thing.
One last first mistake I want

Give me one more.
Please, just let me have one more chance or one more thing.
