One Night
Matthew Koma Lyrics

You think you're the new sexy
You have a false sense of confidence and believe you possess a new level of sex appeal.

In a white mercedez at bends me to the grave
The sight of you in a white Mercedes is so affecting that it feels like it might kill me.

You make casual messy
You turn something that should be simple and effortless into something unorganized and chaotic.

And all my cheereos posses you like a slave, you're custom made
You have taken possession of all the things I value like a slave, and you have been purposely crafted to do so.

Don't take this swing, for more than it is
Don't misconstrue what is happening between us as anything more than one fleeting encounter.

It's one night one night one night
This is just a one-time occurrence with no expectations of anything beyond that.

Chew my gum, under your tongue line, is your bubble gum
Symbolic of the temporary nature of our encounter, chewing gum is used as a metaphor for the kind of fling we are having.

You'll blow a bubbles till the taste is gone
We will continue to spend time together for as long as it's pleasurable until the thrill is, quite literally, gone.

You're coming over for the night
You will be joining me for a single night of intimacy, nothing more.

Just spit me out when it becomes more than fun
If you begin to develop any real feelings, you need to let me go and move on because that goes beyond the scope of our agreement.

Conversation is violent
Our interaction, while physical, is volatile and intense, expressed through emotional or intellectual exchanges.

Baby you're too digital
You are too technical and disconnected in your approach to love and romance, making you unsentimental and uncommitted.

Levitate the physical
Physical attraction can be potent enough to make us feel as though we are floating above the world, transcending the mundane.

But keep me under your ceiling
Despite the transcendent nature of our experience, I want to remain grounded in the present and under your watchful eye.

Cause your concrete is cheaper
Instead of flying off into the abstract, let's keep things realistic in the physical world.

And now ill pull you in close
I will enfold you in my arms and hold you tight, making the most of our physical intimacy.

It's a sweet and sour high
The thrill of a love affair is both exhilarating and intense, brimming with both pleasure and pain.

When you promise not to try
We agree not to put effort into trying to make this fleeting encounter into something more substantial than it is.

You've a promise that I lie
Even though I've made a promise, I know deep down that it's unlikely that I'll fulfill it.

We can drink a punch for this one last time
We can share one final experience together before going our separate ways, like drinking a punch as a farewell gesture.
