Another Minute
Swedish House Mafia Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I don't wanna be alone
So I was wondering, if I
Could stay inside your home?
I was too comfortable by your side
Now I can't be on my own
I was wandering in your eyes
And I can get lost in them
I could get lost in it

I got it now
I'm gone, baby, gotta flee
I told my guys
I got my foot out of the street
She looking for me
She looking for me outside
I wanna know
Yeah, will you ride or will you die?

I wanna know, wanna know
Do you really gotta go, gotta go?
'Cause I don't wanna be alone, be alone
No, don't you leave me on my own, on my own

Can we stay another minute, another minute? Uh
Another minute, another minute
Can we stay another minute, another minute?
Another minute

Preacher said, preacher said I'm better off
Preacher said, I gotta do it on my own
Ayy, borrowed you
And now I gotta let it go
Wrote the message but I never press send

I got it now
I'm gone, baby, gotta flee
I told my guys
I got my foot out of the street
She looking for me
She looking for me outside
I wanna know
Will you ride or will you die?

Yeah, I wanna know, wanna know
Do you really gotta go, gotta go?
'Cause I don't wanna be alone, be alone
No, don't you leave me on my own, on my own

Can we stay another minute, another minute?
Maybe we can stay another minute, another minute?
Maybe you could stay another minute, another minute?
Yeah, another minute, another minute
Can we stay another minute, another minute?
Oh, stay another minute, another minute?




Maybe you could stay another minute, another minute?
Baby, can we stay another minute, another minute?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Swedish House Mafia's song "Another Minute" explore the theme of wanting to avoid being alone and seeking comfort in the presence of someone else. The singer expresses their desire to stay inside the other person's home, as they feel comfortable and secure by their side. The person's gaze is captivating to the singer, getting lost in their eyes symbolizing the depth of their connection.


However, as the lyrics progress, the tone shifts, indicating a change in the singer's perspective. They mention fleeing and getting their foot out of the street, implying a need to leave a certain situation behind. They question whether the other person will continue to seek them or leave them alone. The desire for companionship remains strong, as the chorus repeats the plea to stay together for another minute.


In the second verse, the mention of a preacher suggests that the singer has been advised to become independent and face their challenges alone. They speak of borrowing the other person's presence but ultimately needing to let it go. The line about writing a message but not sending it implies hesitancy or fear of fully expressing their feelings.


Overall, "Another Minute" depicts the conflicting emotions of wanting to be close to someone but also needing to find a sense of individuality and independence.
