One Time
Knox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Why
Why am I hitting you up again
I know we called it quits
And I know that you ain't shit
Yeah I know that you ain't shit boy
But I guess
Somewhere in my loneliness
I started to forget
All the wrong you did
I'm just missing you kissing me
Can you do it
One more time
Yeah I'm hoping you'll do it one more time
I think I need that high just one more time
Let’s spend the weekend high just one more time
Hard feelings aside
Leave room for the memories
To creep up on my skin
I hate to enjoy it
I forget the times I cried
Cause hey you made my heart skip
I better call my therapist
Cause I'm hoping you'll do it
One more time
Yeah I'm hoping you'll do it one more time
I think I need that high just one more time
Let’s spend the weekend high just one more time
Can we can we can we
Can we can we can we
Can we can we can we
Can we can we can we
Can we
You were in your bag
Big old bag of tricks
When we were fake together you were
Bagging chicks
When I fell for you I guess I fell for it
While I was feeling you
You were feeling yourself
Just feeling me up every night
Your phone lighting up every night
Playing house like you were mine
I
I gotta get clean of you
(Cause I think I need it)
Know I can’t take you no more
Please take me there one more time
I’m hoping you’ll do it just
One more time
Yeah I'm hoping you'll do it one more time
I think I need that high just one more time
Let’s spend the weekend high just one more time
Come on baby
One more time
Yeah I'm hoping you'll do it one more time




I think I need that high just one more time
Let’s spend the weekend high just one more time

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Knox's song "One Time" delve into the conflicting emotions that arise after a breakup. The singer acknowledges that they called it quits with their former partner because they know they weren't good for them. Despite this awareness, they find themselves reaching out again out of loneliness and a longing for the past. The lyrics express the inner struggle of simultaneously remembering the pain caused by their ex while also yearning for the love and affection they once shared.


The chorus of the song highlights this internal contradiction. The singer admits to missing the physical and emotional connection they had with their ex, hoping for one last time to experience the rush and intensity that only their former partner can provide. They even ask their ex to "do it one more time" and spend a weekend together, demonstrating their conflicted desires and inability to fully let go.


In the second verse, the singer reflects on the deception and emotional manipulation they endured during the relationship. They were oblivious to their partner's infidelity, focusing solely on the connection they believed they had. The lyrics convey a sense of betrayal and frustration, as the singer realizes they were just a pawn in their partner's game, constantly being fooled while their ex played the field. Despite this realization, however, they still crave that intoxicating feeling of being wanted, suggesting a deep longing for validation and affection.


Overall, "One Time" encapsulates the complex emotions that can arise after a breakup. It portrays the struggle between the rational mind and the heart's desires, showcasing the yearning for familiarity and connection, even if it means revisiting a toxic relationship.
