One Time
Justin Bieber - www.music.pbtone.com Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Last night, laid down and couldn't sleep.
All overload crashing down through me.
Another clouded examination of where the course slipped, where it failed.
But all the old things are like they where before, one more time.
All the same things ale lying on the floor, one more time.
Through all this time there's been changes
Through all this time, how have I returned?
Another one lost in his questions when all the answers are staring at me.

All the old things are like they were before one more time
All the same things are lying air the floor, one more time.
Don't short it down before the rise one more time.
Don't pull it under, smother it all, one more time.
I'm not sinking, not going under with the regrets




and what has been around my neck,
pulling from under the waters that I've been in.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Justin Bieber's song One Time are quite introspective and reveal the singer's inner turmoil and his struggles with self-doubt. In the first stanza, he talks about a sleepless night and how he's overwhelmed by the weight of his thoughts. He ruminates on the past and where he went wrong and how things have come full circle to the point where they "are like they were before, one more time". He seems to be stuck in a cycle of questions and regrets where the answers are right in front of him but he can't seem to grasp them.


The second stanza continues in the same vein but has a more hopeful tone. He advises himself not to give up before the rise and not to smother everything under, implying that he needs to keep going and not give up on things too soon. He talks about how he's not sinking or going under, despite the heavy burdens he's carrying, and how he's slowly pulling himself out of the waters he's been in.


Overall, the lyrics of the song One Time are about self-reflection, overcoming self-doubt, and finding hope in difficult situations. It's a powerful message that many people can relate to, and the song remains a classic in Justin Bieber's discography to this day.

i don't care if i'm only 16. This is the song i want to played when i dance with the love of my life at my wedding. Made me cry. I get to meet Lady Antebellum next month at their concert in LA. <3 I can't wait to hear them play this song and tell them how much it means to me. <3

This was me and my ex's song I thought we had happily ever after. I held on tight and I never let go. Long story short after all I did for her, how much I invested, and how much I loved and cared for her she married some other guy without me knowing. I still can't shake these feelings I have for her.
