One More Day
Lee Brice Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

The feeling just hit, where did the time get to?
Some thirty one days on the road and one more show to do
I'm standing on the side of the stage, about to walk on
I'll give them all that I have, oh, then babe, I'm coming home

Give me one more day baby
I'm almost on my way baby
I know how much you give

I know how much I take
And I know that one more day, honey, feels so long
And I feel it just as deep, honey, just as strong
I know I tend to get lost in this wild world I live in
But nothing out here satisfies, yeah baby I know what I'm missing

So give me one one more day baby
Yeah, I'm almost on my way baby
Yeah, give me one more day baby
Yeah, I know how much you give
And I know how much I take

Yeah, the feeling just hit, where did the time get to?

I'm staring out at a crowd, but when I close my eyes, all I see is you
All I see is you

Overall Meaning

The opening lines of Lee Brice's song One More Day capture the feelings of a musician on the road, longing to be with their significant other. The lyrics establish a sense of urgency, a need to be reunited with loved ones, and the contrast between the intense energy of performing on stage and the loneliness of a life on tour. The singer mentions having been on the road for thirty-one days and doing one more show. However, the thought of being away from his partner for even one more day is unbearable. Brice believes that his partner's love is so incredible that it leaves him yearning for more. He knows that he takes more from the relationship than he gives and wants just one more day with his lover.

As the song progresses, the sentiment grows more intense. Brice's longing is evident in his urgency to see his beloved, and the deep emotions he conveys about his feelings for her. No matter where life takes him, he knows that nothing compares to the feeling of being at home, holding her close. The chorus repeats the phrase "Give me one more day, baby," and declares that he is almost on his way home to her. The lyrics reveal the power of love to transcend geography, distance, and other challenges of life. The song embodies the universal feeling of missing someone you love and the yearning to be with them.
