One second
T.C.X. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One second alone
Feels like an age
Time moves so slow
Trapped in a cage
[Verse 2]
Heartbeats so loud
Memories in a cloud
No two are the same
[Chorus]
Every second away
Feels like a lifetime
Counting the days
Until you are mine
Every second alone
Feels like infinity
Loving you strong
But time is my enemy
[Bridge]
Living day by day
Dreaming of your smile
Every hope I pray
To make this all worthwhile
[Verse 3]
Each morning’s a trial
Evening comes so slow
Every mile every mile
My love still grows
[Chorus]
Every second away
Feels like a lifetime
Counting the days
Until you are mine
Every second alone
Feels like infinity
Loving you strong
But time is my enemy
The lyrics of T.C.X.'s song One Second address the theme of love and relationships. The song looks at a scenario where a woman may only desire a one-night stand and avoid emotional commitment. The singer sings about how love can sometimes be temporary and fleeting, and how he would rather not have anyone break his heart than experience a taste of love that does not last.
The chorus of the song then shifts to the singer's perspective towards genuine love. He acknowledges that he has had his heart broken before and doesn't want to go through that again. But if the woman is willing to give him a lifetime of devotion and truly love him, then he's all for it. The phrase "I second that emotion" is his way of seconding the emotion of love that is being expressed.
Overall, the song's message is clear: love can hurt, but if it's real and lasting, then it's worth pursuing.
Line by Line Meaning
Maybe you'll wanna give me kisses sweet
Perhaps you'll desire to kiss me lovingly
But only for one night with no repeat
Just for one time with no chance of it ever happening again
And maybe you'll go away and never call
It's possible you'll leave and never contact me again
And a taste of honey is worse than none at all
Experiencing a little bit of something is tougher than not experiencing it at all
Oh little girl!
An expression to address the person being sung to
In that case I don't want nobody
If that's all you can offer, then I'm not interested
I do believe that that would only break my heart
I think that kind of relationship would only hurt me
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me
However, if you really want to show affection towards me
If you got the notion,
If you have the urge to do so
I second that emotion.
I completely agree and support that feeling
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion
If you want to commit to me for the rest of our lives together
I second that emotion.
I completely agree and support that feeling
Maybe you'll think that love will tie you down
Perhaps you're afraid that love will confine you
And you don't have the time to hang around.
You feel like you don't have the time to invest in a relationship
Or maybe you'll think that love will make us fools,
Or maybe you're concerned that being in love will make us look foolish
And so it makes you wise to break the rules.
And that's why you think it's smart to avoid commitment
Oh little girl!
An expression to address the person being sung to
In that case I don't want nobody,
If that's what you believe, then I'm not interested
I do believe that that would only break my heart,
I think I would only end up hurting if I agreed to that
Oh, but if you feel like lovin' me,
However, if you truly want to love me
If you got the notion,
If you have the inclination
I second that emotion.
I wholeheartedly agree with and support that feeling
So, if you feel like giving me a lifetime of devotion,
Therefore, if you're willing to commit to me for the remainder of our lives
I second that emotion.
I completely agree and support that feeling
