One Night
Perri Christina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see that you are lonely
If you couldn't know, you'd leave with me
It's more than curiosity
And I've never longed for winter
Till your presence made me shiver
Untethered you'd be better if you'd only come with me
Hanging over you
(Spilling all over your body)
(Covering all your wounds)
One night I will be the star
Follow where you are
(Swimming in the depth of my love)
(Filling your empty heart)
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night
You've come so close to tasting
Now my innocence is breaking
Like the ocean in a perfect storm
It makes me want you even more
And I've never been so jealous
I've never felt so helpless
So out of breath and hungry for you
One night I will be the moon
Hanging over you
(Spilling all over your body)
(Covering all your wounds)
One night I will be a star
Follow where you are
(Swimming in the depth of my love)
(Filling your empty heart)
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night
Hurry, the sun is waking
Darling, don't leave me waiting
One night I will be the moon
Hanging over you
(Spilling all over your body)
(Covering all your wounds)
One night I will be the star
Follow where you are
(Swimming in the depth of my love)
(Filling your empty heart)
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night

I feel the way you want me
I sense that you desire me
I see that you are lonely
I notice your loneliness
If you couldn't know, you'd leave with me
If you weren't already taken, you would come away with me
It's more than curiosity
Our attraction is more than just idle curiosity
And I've never longed for winter
I never desired winter until I met you
Till your presence made me shiver
Your presence caused me to shiver with anticipation
Untethered you'd be better if you'd only come with me
You would be better off leaving your current situation and coming with me
You've come so close to tasting
You've almost had a taste of me
Now my innocence is breaking
My naivety is disappearing
Like the ocean in a perfect storm
Our passion is intense like a stormy sea
It makes me want you even more
Our intense passion only increases my desire for you
And I've never been so jealous
I've never felt so envious before
I've never felt so helpless
I've never been so powerless before
So out of breath and hungry for you
I'm breathless and famished for you
Hurry, the sun is waking
We need to act fast before daybreak
Darling, don't leave me waiting
My love, please don't make me wait
One night I will be the moon
I will be the moon for only one night
Hanging over you
Watching over you
(Spilling all over your body)
My love and passion will overflow onto your body
(Covering all your wounds)
My love will heal all your emotional wounds
One night I will be a star
I will be a star for only one night
Follow where you are
I'll follow you no matter where you go
(Swimming in the depth of my love)
We'll be engulfed in the depth of my love
(Filling your empty heart)
My love will fill the void in your heart
One night, one night, one night
This is only a one-time opportunity
One night, one night, one night
One chance to have a magical night
One night, one night, one night
Make this one night count

I feel the way you want me
I see that you are lonely
If you could, I know you’d leave with me
It’s more than curiosity
And I've never longed for winter
Until your presence made me shiver
Untethered you’d be better if you’d only come with me
One night I will be the moon
Hanging over you
Spilling all over your body
Covering all your wounds
One night I will be the star
Falling where you are
Swimming in the deep of my love
Filling your empty heart
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night
You’ve come so close to tasting
Now my innocence is breaking
Like the ocean in a perfect storm
It makes me want you even more
And I’ve never been so jealous
I’ve never felt so helpless
So out of breath and hungry for you
One night I will be the moon
Hanging over you
Spilling all over your body
Covering all your wounds
One night I will be the star
Falling where you are
Swimming in the deep of my love
Filling your empty heart
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night
Hurry, the sun is waking
Darling, don’t leave me waiting
One night I will be the moon
Hanging over you
Spilling all over your body
Covering all your wounds
One night I will be the star
Falling where you are
Swimming in the deep of my love
Filling your empty heart
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night

Christina's songs give me ideas for books. They flow through my body and make me happy or emotional. Every one of her songs has a story behind it. You just have to find it.
@dianthe27
I know right! I think her songs are way better than some other more famous singers.. Not saying I hate it but I just feel that Christina's are more meaningful ^^
@IzayahContreras
totally
@YasithaSasanka
Exactly Right! Every time when I come to the middle of a plot that I make and when I listen to her songs it feels like the words and her sweet voice flowing through my veins and finally reaching the heart and my nervous system gets excited and I get lots of ideas for plot twists that can give the reader a chance of being emotional.
I really love her songs😍!
