One More Time
Travis Pickle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know that you love him
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 win
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

Overall Meaning

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.
