One More Reason
The Reytons Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Blue lights through the window
I knew this time would come
I′ve pushed my luck too far this time
There's nowhere left to run

And I know that you′re worried
But your innocence is true
'Cause I've got some confessions
And the first one is, the first one is for you

′Cause I will try to make it right
Let me give you one more reason not to leave
I will never lie
So promise me that you will always be right there

Locked up waiting
I don′t know what time I'm facing
I fucked up lately
But please tell me you′ll still be waiting

'Cause I know you deserve much better
These four walls don′t see much weather
I just need to know that you'll be there when I get out

′Cause I will try to make it right
Let me give you one more reason not to leave
I will never lie
So promise me that you will always be
Right there, right there
Right beside of me
Right there, right there
Right beside of me
Right there, right there
Right beside of me now

Contemplating
Picking up the phone once more, it's
So frustrating
'Cause you don′t answer when I call

But I know you deserve much more
You′re everything I'm living for
So please tell me you won′t ignore me
When I walk outside

'Cause I will try to make it right
Let me give you one more reason not to leave
I will never lie
So promise me that you will always be
Right there, right there
Right beside of me
Right there, right there
Right beside of me
Right there, right there
Right beside of me now

We haven′t spoken for so long
I don't know what′s going on
All I know is that I let you down

I said that I was gonna try
With every letter that I write
I just hope that you come round
Please don't let me down

'Cause I will try to make it right
Let me give you one more reason not to leave
I will never lie
So promise me that you will always be
Right there, right there
Right beside of me
Right there, right there
Right beside of me




Right there, right there
Right beside of me now

I feel like we need one more video, doesn't feel completed but you lads have the best music videos I've seen in my life

@lucychapo

Brilliant song and video as always 👌🏻 So excited for the album now!

@sim5847

Congratulations to Rich Goodwin for the great production and to Director Jonny Yerrell. These videos are becoming works of art. Another story of the modern age and of the dangers of drink driving.
Another really good track from a great band - you just need a Christmas song now?
Look forward to the album getting to number one! Ive already bought it in advance of release on Jan 27th.

@andykelsall403

Another well crafted song. Well done lads - really looking forward to the new album AND seeing you in Melbourne in March....Gonna go OFF!!!

@SettleinSpain

Just spent the early hours watching all your songs on YouTube… awesome music and great videos… my dads a Yorkshireman from Sheffield brought up on the manor, I spent childhood holidays at my grandparents house… your music speaks of those places and people I remember. Can’t wait to get your album on a cd to play in our old car for my regular road trips across Spain. Just wanted to say thanks for the music
