One night stand
Longo And Wainwright feat. Craig Smart Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Something inside me is taking over
I start 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-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 know 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)
Ooh
We got one life, we got one heart
Ooh
I'm so in this, I can touch the sky
It's like we're on a roller coaster
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 know 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
So take me away
The lyrics of Longo and Wainwright’s “One Life Stand” featuring Craig Smart reveal the intoxicating effects of love and attraction. The singer describes how encountering the object of their affection makes them feel speechless, yet exhilarated. They compare the experience to being in a dream and seem to be intoxicated by the intense emotions that accompany this attraction. The lyrics suggest that all the singer desires is for the moment to last forever, and they frame this as a “one life stand” that promises an eternity in a flash.
The lyrics set up the idea of the fleeting nature of life, reminding the listener that we only have one chance at this existence. In this context, the “one life stand” can be read as a metaphor for the idea that we should seize the moment and enjoy our lives. The lyrics also convey a sense of urgency in the pursuit of love and suggest that when one finds a true connection, they should hold onto it tightly, while still maintaining an appreciation for the fleeting nature of existence.
Overall, the song is about the powerful nature of attraction and encourages us to make the most of the fleeting time we have in this life.
