One Last Time
dodie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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
The lyrics to dodie's song "One Last Time" convey a heartfelt plea for one final moment of connection and intimacy with a past lover. The singer longs to recapture the feeling of being together, even if it is just for a fleeting moment. They want to pretend that nothing has changed and that they can hold onto the love they once shared.
The repetition of the phrase "one last time please" emphasizes the desperation and desire to relive the past. The singer acknowledges that saying goodbye is necessary, but they yearn for the opportunity to experience the love and connection they once had, even if it can only be a temporary illusion.
The lines "Will you see me like you did before / Just one night more / Then I'll close the door" reveal a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer understands that they need to let go and move on, but they also want to cherish one final night of unity before closing the chapter on their relationship. The lyrics "Somehow step into / a world without you" depict the daunting challenge of navigating life without the person they still deeply care for.
Ultimately, "One Last Time" encapsulates the bittersweet longing that often accompanies the end of a relationship. It encapsulates the desire to hold onto the past, even when it is time to say goodbye.

One last time please
I'm asking for one final opportunity
like you're mine, again
Let's pretend that we are in the past, when you were mine
Just for a moment
Only for a brief period
can we pretend,
Can we imagine
That nothing's changed at all
That everything is exactly the same as before
just one last time please
I'm requesting one final occasion
we can say goodbye again
We can bid farewell once more
say it's not the end
Say that this is not the conclusion
Will you see me like you did before
Will you perceive me in the same way as in the past
Just one night more
Only one more night
Then I'll close the door
Afterwards, I will put an end to this
Somehow step into
In some way, move into
a world without you
A reality where you don't exist
But one last time please
However, please grant me one final chance
i know it's said and done
I understand that it's over and finished
I'll take a night with you
I'll cherish a night together with you
and we can rise with the sun
And we can enjoy the morning together
but till then
However, until that time
please be mine
Please act as if you are mine
one time again
Just one more occasion

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
