One Life Stand
Longo & Wainwright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something inside me is taking over
I start st-st-st-stuttering; can't find the words to say
I feel the opposite of sober
It's what you do to me
Got me saying yeah, yeah, yeah
It's like I'm in a dream
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away
When i see you, I get blown away
Something inside me is taking over
I start st-st-st-stuttering; can't find the words to say
I feel the opposite of sober
It's what you do to me
Got me saying yeah, yeah, yeah
It's like I'm in a dream
And when I wake up I hope that you're still here with me
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away
So take me away
So take me away (take me away)
Ooooh
we got one life, we got one heart
Oooh
I'm so weightless, I can touch the sky
It's like we're on a rollercoaster
My body's aching
And you're the reason why
Why don't you come a little closer
It's what you do to me
Got me saying yeah, yeah, yeah
It's like I'm in a dream
And when I wake up I hope that you're still here with me
So take me away
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
I could spend forever in a moment like this
All I ever wanted was a one life stand
So take me away (2x)
