One Last Time
dodie Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One last time please
like you're mine, again
Just for a moment
can we pretend,
That nothing's changed at all

just one last time please
we can say goodbye again
Just for a moment
say it's not the end

Will you see me like you did before

Just one night more
Then I'll close the door

Somehow step into
a world without you

But one last time please
i know it's said and done
I'll take a night with you
and we can rise with the sun
but till then




please be mine
one time again

okay when this demo was originally released on youtube it quickly became one of my favorites of yours Dodie, and i'm so happy there's a clean version without the ending audio message so i can listen to this on loop without feeling guilty of having to skip what you said. This is so beautiful and melancholic and gives me goosebumps. you are an amazing singer and artist, Dodie, and i'm so happy you do what you do!

i remember listening to this on loop last year because it came out around the time my cat died. i don't know how dodie does it, but somehow she always has a song that perfectly captures what I'm feeling
