Here We Go
One Step Away Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We were walking, talking, holding hands that night
I remember wishing they'd turn off the lights
You turned and looked at me, holding back a grin
Which made me smile and laugh and then
I leaned in
And I just don't know

Here we go another day just passes by
Another reason to ask me why
Here we go together one more time
I'm asking you to please believe me girl and just try to be mine

Everything I said to you was just a lie
That's wrong and every time you know I try
I can't move on from you, it just doesn't work
I'm singing you a lullaby of the broken heart
And I just don't know

You came up to me and swore that you loved me
and together we'd be
The perfect pair




And I'll still be crazy
Until we're both pushing daisies

Overall Meaning

The lyrics from One Step Away's song "Here We Go" depict a story of two people walking and talking at night, holding hands. The singer remembers wishing for the lights to be turned off, implying an intimate setting. The other person turns and looks at the singer, holding back a grin, which prompts the singer to smile, laugh, and lean in. However, the singer ends the stanza by stating "I just don't know," which suggests confusion or uncertainty about what will happen next.


The chorus of the song expresses the singer's sentiments of going through another day with the other person, asking why they're doing this together yet again. The singer then makes a plea for the other person to believe them and try to be theirs. But the next stanza reveals that everything the singer has said to the person has been a lie, indicating an unfaithful or insincere character. The singer then expresses frustration at their inability to move on from the person and sings a "lullaby of the broken heart."


Overall, the song expresses the confusion and frustration of a narrator who is unsure about their feelings towards another person. They seem to have a desire to be with them while also being unable to let go of something that is evidently over.
