One More Night
Yearning Echoes: Tori Keeth's Heartfelt Quest for One More Night
Lyrics
We were together only short of three months
We had a relationship that lasted just under three months.
Does that make this pain less relative
Is the pain I'm experiencing less intense because our time together was relatively short?
Doctors said it takes 18 days, to build a habit so I guess
Doctors suggest it takes 18 days to form a habit, implying the quick development of a connection, as reflected in memorizing your smile.
It makes sense that I memorized the smile on your face
I've memorized the joy in your expression.
And I watched it fade all the colors turned to gray
Watching the colors fade from your smile as you express unpreparedness.
When you told me you weren't ready
Our shared life plans crumbled when you revealed your unreadiness.
And the house we built was shattered
The dream we built together was shattered.
Baby we'll last forever in my mind
Despite the breakup, the memories of our time together will persist in my mind.
Everybody in LA sells their souls for fame
Commentary on the superficial sacrifices people make in Los Angeles for fame.
But I'd sell mine if I could see your face for one more night
I would trade my soul for the chance to see your face again.
One more night, just one more night
Expressing the desire for just one more night together.
My friends say "everything happens for a reason"
Friends console with the idea that everything happens for a reason, questioning its validity in the face of emotional pain.
But how can you justify the way that I'm feeling without you
Justifying the depth of emotional pain felt in your absence.
Without you I want one more night with you
Expressing the longing for another night together.
I remember wishing we could stop time
Reflecting on a wish to stop time during happier moments.
I'd give anything just to go back
Willing to sacrifice anything to go back to those happy times.
Fogging up the windows in your car lipstick marks on your neck
Recalling intimate moments in the car, marked by lipstick stains.
But when your arms started feeling like I was coming home
The warmth of your embrace felt like home, but it was a deceptive feeling.
I should have known I was in the danger zone
Realizing the danger of emotional attachment as signs appeared.
Cause you left me with the memories
Left with memories and unspoken words.
And the words we never said
The memories and unexpressed emotions persist in the mind.
Baby well last forever in my mind
Despite the breakup, memories will endure.
If my dreams are all thats left of you
If dreams are all that remain of you, I'll sleep indefinitely.
I'll sleep until the end of time
Emphasizing a desire to escape reality through sleep.
Everybody in LA sells their souls for fame
Referencing the trend of compromising values for fame in Los Angeles.
But I'd sell mine if I could see your face for one more night
Willing to trade personal integrity to see your face once more.
One more night, just one more night
Reiterating the desire for another night together.
My friends say "everything happens for a reason"
Finding it challenging to accept the idea that everything happens for a reason.
But how can you justify the way that I'm feeling without you
Questioning the justification for the intense emotions experienced without you.
Without you I want one more night with you
Expressing the persistent desire for one more night together.
You said breakup songs are in my past that you and I were made to last
Recalling a statement about lasting love, contrasting with the current situation.
You didn't just break promises
Not merely breaking promises, but breaking the person.
Yeah, you broke me
Feeling emotionally shattered by the breakup.
Everybody in LA sells their souls for fame
Returning to the theme of compromising values for fame in LA.
But I'd sell mine if I could see your face for one more night
Reiterating the willingness to sacrifice for another night with you.
One more night just one more night yeah
Repeating the desire for one more night together.
My friends say "everything happens for a reason"
Friends offering solace with the idea that everything happens for a reason.
But how can you justify the way that I'm feeling without you
Questioning the justification for intense emotions in your absence.
Without you I want one more night with you, with you
Continuing to express the longing for another night together.
Without you, without you
Reiterating the pain of being without you.
I want one more night with you
The persistent desire for one more night together.
