One More Night
Streets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We never talked it over, in fact we never said anything
Two of the same kind of sorts hiding thoughts
As the small talk ebbs away the silence is awkward
You hardly even know me and I'm starting to show that
I hardly even know you but I like what I know
I want to talk about it but I quake in my skin
It'll only push you further into making decisions
The voice inside me's always right which is why the awkward silence
Not gonna risk losing you
Which is why I'm never gonna woo you
I think I love you more than you like me
Although I'm never surer maybe I should want to be blind
I think I love you more than you like me
Because this is even crossing my mind
Any other day and you'd have not looked twice
The joking went along with my roll of the dice
Purely by chance I happened on feeling
Really confident around the place and people
You caught a no-hitter hitting winning strokes
I never am a winner, I'm a lonely bloke
Acting exciting like a man for a while
Until you realized I can act like a child
Eternal optimism is spurring me onto think that acting on yearnings like this
Might lead me to learn a secret
But I don't really know
Or why I think so
It's just a good hunch, hunches are always right though
I think I love you more than you like me
Although I'm never surer maybe I should want to be blind
I think I love you more than you like me
Because this is even crossing my mind
I drew a drawing of you after last time I saw you
I never felt to draw a picture like that before
I learnt a lot about myself drawing all morning
It was absolutely shit, I'm awful at drawing
I think I love you more than you like me
Although I'm never surer maybe I should want to be blind
I think I love you more than you like me
Because this is even crossing my mind
I think I love you more than you like me
Although I'm never surer maybe I should want to be blind
I think I love you more than you like me
Because this is even crossing my mind
The lyrics of Streets' song "One More Night" delve into the complex emotions and uncertainties surrounding a budding romantic connection. The opening lines emphasize the paradoxical nature of their relationship, with the singer expressing that despite being at the beginning, they already sense it could be the end. This could suggest a fear of the relationship's potential demise even before it fully takes off.
The lyrics also highlight the lack of communication and genuine connection between the two individuals. They admit to never talking things over or expressing their true thoughts and feelings, resulting in an awkward silence between them. Despite this, the singer finds themselves developing strong feelings for the other person, even though they hardly know each other.
The chorus reveals the unrequited nature of the singer's love. They confess loving the other person more than they are liked in return, leading to a sense of insecurity and doubt. The lyrics imply that the singer is aware of this imbalance, contemplating whether it would be better to be blind to these feelings.
The second verse explores the unexpected attraction between the two individuals. The singer acknowledges that under normal circumstances, the other person would not pay them any attention. However, through a stroke of luck and confidence, they caught their interest. The singer feels inadequate in comparison, describing themselves as a lonely loser who can still act childishly. Despite these insecurities, the singer chooses to remain optimistic and continues to pursue their feelings, hoping it might reveal a hidden secret.
The bridge of the song takes a whimsical turn, as the singer reveals drawing a picture of the other person after their last encounter. This artistic expression serves as a form of self-discovery, as the singer reflects on their own abilities and admits that their drawing is terrible.
Overall, the lyrics of "One More Night" capture the conflicting emotions of infatuation and self-doubt in a new relationship, as the singer grapples with their own feelings and uncertain of the other person's feelings towards them.

We haven't even started and it's almost the end
Our relationship is already falling apart before it even began
We never talked it over, in fact we never said anything
We haven't had any meaningful conversations or discussions
Two of the same kind of sorts hiding thoughts
Both of us are similar in our tendency to hide our true feelings

You hardly even know me and I'm starting to show that
Despite the limited knowledge you have about me, my true feelings are becoming evident
I hardly even know you but I like what I know
Although I don't know much about you, I'm attracted to the aspects I do know
I want to talk about it but I quake in my skin
I desire to discuss my feelings, but I'm scared and insecure
It'll only push you further into making decisions
Bringing up our feelings will only create more pressure for you to make a choice
You want to like me but you were likely undecided
You have an inclination to develop feelings for me, but you're still unsure
The voice inside me's always right which is why the awkward silence
My intuition is usually accurate, and that's why the silence between us feels uneasy
Not gonna risk losing you
I'm not willing to take the chance of losing you
Which is why I'm never gonna woo you
That's why I won't actively pursue and charm you
I think I love you more than you like me
I believe my feelings for you are stronger than your feelings for me
Although I'm never surer maybe I should want to be blind
Even though I'm uncertain, maybe it would be better if I pretended not to see
Because this is even crossing my mind
The idea of my love for you overwhelms my thoughts
Any other day and you'd have not looked twice
On any other day, you wouldn't have paid me any attention
The joking went along with my roll of the dice
My playful banter was just a gamble to catch your interest
Purely by chance I happened on feeling
By sheer coincidence, I stumbled upon these emotions
Really confident around the place and people
I feel self-assured in this environment and with other people around
You caught a no-hitter hitting winning strokes
You hit successful shots even when the odds were against you
I never am a winner, I'm a lonely bloke
I always end up being alone and never triumph in relationships
Acting exciting like a man for a while
Putting on a facade of enthusiasm and confidence temporarily
Until you realized I can act like a child
Until you recognized my immaturity and childish behavior
Eternal optimism is spurring me onto think that acting on yearnings like this
My endless optimism motivates me to believe that pursuing these desires could lead to something
Might lead me to learn a secret
Perhaps it could uncover a hidden truth or revelation
But I don't really know
In reality, I have no certainty
Or why I think so
I can't explain the reasoning behind my belief
It's just a good hunch, hunches are always right though
It's simply a strong intuition, even though intuitions aren't always accurate
I drew a drawing of you after last time I saw you
After our last meeting, I drew a picture of you
I never felt to draw a picture like that before
I've never been compelled to draw a picture like that in the past
I learnt a lot about myself drawing all morning
I discovered a great deal about myself while drawing throughout the morning
It was absolutely shit, I'm awful at drawing
The drawing turned out terribly; I have no artistic skill
I think I love you more than you like me
I believe my feelings for you surpass your feelings for me
Although I'm never surer maybe I should want to be blind
Even though I'm uncertain, maybe it would be better if I pretended not to see
Because this is even crossing my mind
The idea of my love for you overwhelms my thoughts
I think I love you more than you like me
I believe my feelings for you surpass your feelings for me
Although I'm never surer maybe I should want to be blind
Even though I'm uncertain, maybe it would be better if I pretended not to see
Because this is even crossing my mind
The idea of my love for you overwhelms my thoughts
