Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

One more night, one more night
I've been trying ooh so long to let you know
Let you know how I feel
And if I stumble if I fall, just help me back
So I can make you see

Please give me one more night, give me one more night
One more night cos I can't wait forever
Give me just one more night, oh just one more night
Oh one more night cos I can't wait forever

I've been sitting here so long
Wasting time, just staring at the phone
And I was wondering should I call you
Then I thought maybe you're not alone

Please give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Please give me one more night, ooh just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Like a river to the sea
I will always be with you
And if you sail away
I will follow you

Give me one more night, give me just one more night
Oh one more night, cos I can't wait forever
I know there'll never be a time you'll ever feel the same
And I know it's only words
But if you change your mind you know that I'll be here
And maybe we both can learn

Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever




Give me just one more night, give me just one more night
Ooh one more night, cos I can't wait forever

Try as he might, he's unable to speak
He grabs her by the hair, he strokes her on the cheek
The bed is unmade, like everything is
Dark little heaven at the top of the stairs
Take me like that, ruin it all
Then build it again, by the light in the hall
He drops to his knees, says, "Please, my love, please
I'll kill who you hate, take off that dress, you won't freeze"

One more night, that was a good one
One more night, I dreamed it was good one (one more)
One more night, that was a good one
One more night, the end should be a good one
A good one

He starts with her back, because that's what he sees
When she's breaking his heart, she still fucks like a tease
Release to the sky, look him straight in the eye
And tell him, right now, that you wish he would die
You'll never touch him again, so get what you can
Leaving him empty, just because he's a man
So good when it ends, they'll never be friends
One more night, thats all they can spend in

I used to listen to this on my iPod nano and PSP. Canโ€™t even count how many nights I fell asleep to this.

@SheepShade

The "conversation" betweeen the two singers is just such a special thing to me.... I fell in love with the stars because of "reunion" but this has to be my favorite... the harsh sounds at "you'll never touch him again" and "so good when it ends, you'll never be friends" hold such a special place in my heart, as well as the strings in the last third of this track... Thank you so much for this piece of music :)

@HKGJOHN

This is easily one of the most complex indie songs I've ever heard. Lyrics are devastating. Love this song. One of my all time favs!

@FoOsieluuuuu

Every word of this, John. Every word my friend.

@juliodusablon2470

This broke my relationship and remade it again.

@pantagruel1066

The whole album is absolute soul devastation. "You're ex lover is dead". Jesus H, that's a hard one. This ones a close second.

@natethegamenerd

I miss you. I wish our end is a good one

@taynado4993

Listened to this song after seeing them live when I was 14. Saw them live two more times after that. 12 years later still means the world to me. So powerful.

@g392_cs_echo5

18 years. Wow. What a potent song.

@pantagruel1066
