One More Time
Travis Pickle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But you don't have a clue
So what if you saw us?
I'd feel bad
Bad for you
To the one
To the one I cannot fight
Let me try
And it's fine
The other world inside his mind
Just one more time
I guess I deserve it
The lies, they wouldn't do
How 'bout just a little?
One more time is all I ask of you
To the one
To the one I cannot fight
Let me win
Let me try
And it's fine
The other world inside his mind
Just one more time
Travis Pickle's song One More Time is a melancholic ballad sung from the perspective of a man who is in love with a woman who is already in a relationship with someone else. The lyrics express his desire to be with her, even if it's just for one more time. He acknowledges that she loves her partner, but he still wants her to give him a chance. The line "I know that you love him, but you don't have a clue" suggests that he believes he could give her a better relationship, but she is unaware of it.
The chorus of the song is especially powerful, as the singer begs for the chance to win her over with the lyrics "To the one I cannot fight, let me win, let me try." However, he also seems resigned to the fact that he may never be able to win her over completely with the line "The other world inside his mind, just one more time," indicating that he may just be content with having her briefly, rather than fighting for her love in vain.
Overall, the song is a touching ode to unrequited love and the struggle to come to terms with the fact that sometimes we cannot have the things we want most in life.

I know that you love him
I understand that you have feelings for him
But you don't have a clue
But you don't realize the truth
So what if you saw us?
What would you do if you witnessed our forbidden love?
I'd feel bad
I would be guilt-ridden
Bad for you
Feeling pity for you
To the one
Speaking to the person I cannot overcome
To the one I cannot fight
To the one I cannot beat in love
Let me win
Allow me to emerge victorious
Let me try
Permit me to make an attempt
And it's fine
Everything is okay
The other world inside his mind
The alternate reality within his head
Just one more time
Give me one more chance
I guess I deserve it
I suppose I am worthy of it
The lies, they wouldn't do
Deception won't suffice
How 'bout just a little?
Perhaps a small indulgence?
One more time is all I ask of you
Just grant me one more opportunity
