the only night Lyrics
When I was young and I was a victim of a killing smile
Love was cheap and it was great for a little while
I had to leave but she wanted me to stay
Now and she ripped of my shirt and left her marks of her distain
I just can't take it no more
I can't spend another night alone
I can't take it no more
If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you
I keep you warm and you hold me tight
This might be our only night
Be our only night
Oh I can't give up
No no, no no
I tried to reconcile but it never made a difference
If you could cut the atmosphere with a knife, it was so tense and cold
And everytime I tried to get a little closer to you
You got further and further away from me until you faded into the distance
Yes you did
There's nothing I could do
If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you
I keep you warm and you hold me tight
Cause this might be our only night
This might be our only night
I can't spend another night alone
If this is where I ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have was gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you
If this is where we ended up
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you
Keep me warm and I'll hold you tight
Cause this might be our only night
Oh yeah, be our only night
Let me hold you like I want to
We might never get a chance again
Oh I can't give up
Love was cheap and it was great for a little while
I had to leave but she wanted me to stay
Now and she ripped of my shirt and left her marks of her distain
I can't spend another night alone
I can't take it no more
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you
This might be our only night
Be our only night
Oh I can't give up
No no, no no
If you could cut the atmosphere with a knife, it was so tense and cold
And everytime I tried to get a little closer to you
You got further and further away from me until you faded into the distance
There's nothing I could do
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you
Cause this might be our only night
This might be our only night
I can't spend another night alone
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have was gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you
Then I refuse to be so hard on myself this time
If everything I have is gone
Then what is wrong with spending time with you
Cause this might be our only night
Let me hold you like I want to
We might never get a chance again
Oh I can't give up

This song is so electrifying....It's the first song on the album grabs your attention.I first thought of the song as saying "seize the day(or night)". Refusing to "be so hard on myself this time" means not regreting what I've decided to do,whether it be leaving or staying.That's just my take on it but anyway this song makes me sing at the top of my lungs and dance!
I believe the song is about him remembering being in a relationship that he knew wasn't good for him and even though it was hard to cut her off,he ended it. Then in the second verse,he's remembering how he even had tried to save the relationship at times but it was never getting better. But,as I gather from the chorus,he's continuing to fool around with her because he's as miserable without her as he was with her.So he's saying he's not gonna be hard on himself for still having dealings with her cuz he'll be just as unhappy if he wasn't.Basically,he'd rather be miserable with someone than be miserable alone.
