Life Goes On
One Wrong Night: A Cosmic Twist of Love and Regret
Lyrics
Saturday night was the first time
Saturday night marked the beginning of the events.
Saturday night was the last time
Saturday night signifies the conclusion of the events.
Talk about town is you want nothin' to do... with me
Rumors suggest that you have no interest in associating with me.
Cuz I took advantage of the weather
I took advantage of the favorable conditions or circumstances.
Knew he was away, so I ditched her
I knew he was away, so I abandoned her.
And it was a night - one and dumb you said to me
Refers to a night described as foolish and regrettable.
Whoa, oh no Sound the red alert
An exclamation signaling danger or trouble.
Oh no! She's wearin' that skirt
Expressing concern about someone wearing a particular outfit.
Oh no! Why does love have to hurt so bad?
Questioning why love has to cause such intense pain.
Spotted you down by the food court
I spotted you near the food court.
Sidled beside your latest escort
I approached discreetly next to your current companion.
And I ducked to hide behind the vending machine - unseen
I hid behind a vending machine to avoid being seen.
Cuz you - you were with him
You were with him, and she was with me.
And she was with me
Highlighting the ironic and amusing nature of the situation.
It's such amusing irony
Emphasizing the unexpected twist in the story.
Whoa- oh no
A repeated exclamation of distress or surprise.
One wrong night
An acknowledgment of a mistake or regretful action.
Made things right
Despite the error, the situation was eventually corrected.
But life goes on
Life continues despite the challenges.
At least I'd hoped it might
Expressing a hopeful perspective amid difficulties.
Passing again through the arcade
Moving through the arcade again.
Speakers tease us with a serenade
Speakers in the arcade play a song that stirs feelings of regret.
A dance of remorse for the ones we loved and gave away
Reflecting on the remorse for lost loves.
One long night
A prolonged and significant night.
A cosmic flight
A metaphorical journey through the cosmos.
But life goes on
Life goes on despite the cosmic journey.
At least I thought it might
Expressing a previous expectation of life continuing.
And you - you'll be with me
You will be with me in the aftermath.
And they can just leave
Others can depart; it doesn't affect us.
What a plot twist - you'll see
Anticipating an unexpected turn of events.
Why am I feeling so intensely?
Expressing heightened emotions and confusion.
How can I put the weekend past me?
Reflecting on the challenge of moving past the weekend.
Why is she here - what do I fear
Questioning the presence of someone and the associated fear.
It's crystal clear
The situation becomes clear and evident.
Oh, cuz he was there
The presence of another person (he) caused distress.
And I was burning mad
Feeling intensely angry despite lacking the right.
Though I've no right - it was just one night
Acknowledging the mistake of one night but emphasizing the anger.
One wrong night, things made right
Despite the error, the situation was eventually corrected (repeated).
Life goes on - at least I thought it might
Life goes on despite the challenges (repeated).
One hot night - by firelight
Recalling a passionate night illuminated by firelight.
Life goes on - cuz it was just one night
Life continues because it was just one night (repeated).
