One More
Laroie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You bring me light when I’m in darkness
I feel alive, no once around to stop me
I change my mind, but I can’t ignore it
My need is strong and so convincing

You tell yourself it’ll be okay, be okay, be okay
One more ride that’s what you say, what you say, what you say

You tell yourself It’ll be okay, be okay, be okay (and it’s all I can think about)
One more ride that’s what you say, what you say (but how long will this one last)

You can ride, you can ride with me
You can tell me all about the things you do
You can ride, you can ride with me
You can be the one to tell me “I love you”
You can ride, you can ride with me
You make me feel beautiful
You can ride, you can ride with me
Only one more for the road

It comes and goes but it will leave you feeling hungry Feels natural but it's no angel you’re dancing with
No it’s no angel you’re dancing with
So you tell yourself it’ll be okay

You tell yourself it’ll be okay, be okay, be okay
One more ride that’s what you say, what you say, what you say (one more ride, one more ride)
You tell yourself It’ll be okay, be okay, be okay (and it’s all I can think about)
One more ride that’s what you say, what you say (but how long will this one last)

You can ride, you can ride with me
You can tell me all about the things you do
You can ride, you can ride with me
You can be the one to tell me “I love you”
You can ride, you can ride with me
You make me feel beautiful
You can ride, you can ride with me
Only one more for the road

Only one more for the road

Overall Meaning

In these lyrics, the singer is expressing how their partner brings them light and makes them feel alive when they are in a dark place. Despite changing their mind about their situation, they can't ignore their strong need and desire. The partner reassures themselves that everything will be okay, but questions how long this feeling will last.

The chorus emphasizes the partner's agreement to go along with one more ride, one more chance at happiness. The singer invites their partner to join them on this journey, to share their experiences and thoughts. The partner's presence and affirmation of love make the singer feel beautiful. However, it is emphasized that this is "only one more for the road," implying that there may be a limit to how much longer they can continue in this way.

The bridge warns that although the feeling comes and goes, it leaves the person feeling empty and craving for more. It's compared to a dance with a non-angelic presence, implying that while it may feel natural, it may not be entirely positive. Despite this knowledge, the partner reassures themselves once again, telling themselves that everything will be okay.

Overall, these lyrics depict a relationship where the singer finds comfort and happiness in their partner, even though they are aware that it may not be sustainable or entirely healthy. They acknowledge their desires and choose to embrace their partner for just a little longer before the uncertainty of the future takes hold.
