One More Night
Longing Echoes: Stephen Bishop's Plea for One More Night
Lyrics
Everyone keeps telling me
Others consistently assert things about me that are untrue.
I'm something I'm not
People are defining me in a way that doesn't align with my true self.
They fill me with questions
They bombard me with inquiries that cause emotional distress.
that tear me apart
These questions are deeply affecting me, causing inner turmoil.
But through it all
Despite the challenges, someone (possibly the listener) helped me.
it was you who pulled me out
Specifically, it was you who provided support and pulled me through.
So please don't leave me now
I implore you not to abandon me at this moment.
Just give me one more night
Requesting one more night together.
to hold you
Expressing a desire to embrace and cherish you for another night.
One more night
Reiterating the plea for an additional night.
Give me one more night
Asking for more time to be close to you.
to have you near
Yearning for your presence for another night.
There's a man at the train stop
Observing a man at a train stop, visibly upset.
with tears in his eyes
His emotional state triggers memories of a distant past.
It reminds me of so long ago
Recalling a time when I could express emotions freely, unlike now.
when I was able to cry
Reflecting on a period when I had the ability to cry.
Now I'm strong
Currently, I possess strength and resilience.
Slip away and laugh along
I can escape difficulties and share laughter with those in need.
with anyone who needs someone blue
Willing to be a comforting presence for anyone feeling sad.
[Chorus]
[Chorus, no specific meaning for individual lines]
What can I say
Expressing a need for words to convince you to stay.
to make you stay?
Pleading for a reason or assurance to make you remain.
I'd do anything
Willing to go to great lengths to make you stay.
I'd give everything
Offering everything in an attempt to keep you close.
to have just one more night...
Desiring just one more night with you, emphasizing its significance.
