One More Night
Phil Collins Lyrics

One more night
The singer is pleading to spend one more night with someone

I've been trying ooh so long to let you know
The singer has been attempting to communicate their feelings for some time

Let you know how I feel
The singer wants to convey their emotions to the other person

And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
The artist is asking for support if they struggle in expressing themselves

So I can make you see
The artist wants the other person to understand their emotions

Please give me one more night
The singer is pleading for one more night together

Give me one more night 'cause I can't wait forever
The singer wants to spend one more night because they can't wait indefinitely

I've been sitting here so long
The artist has been waiting for a long time

Wasting time, just staring at the phone
The artist has been unproductively waiting for a call or message

And I was wondering should I call you
The artist is contemplating reaching out to the other person

Then I thought maybe you're not alone
The singer considers that the other person might not be alone

Like a river to the sea
The artist promises to always be with the other person

I will always be with you
The singer will always be by the other person's side

And if you sail away
If the other person leaves, the singer will follow

I will follow you
The singer will chase after the other person

I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
The artist acknowledges that the other person may not reciprocate their feelings

And I know it's only words
The artist realizes that these are just words, but hopes they hold meaning

But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here
The singer will be present if the other person changes their stance

And maybe we both can learn
The singer suggests that there may be something to learn from the situation

Oh, oh, oh
This is a repeating vocalization
