ONE MORE TIME is a song by the American rock band blink-182, known for their influential contributions to the pop-punk and alternative rock genres. The song is notable for its introspective and somewhat melancholic lyrics, a departure from the band's typically energetic and playful style. Composed by Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus, the song offers a glimpse into themes of friendship, nostalgia, and the passage of time.

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]

Strangers, from strangers into brothers
From brothers into strangers once again
We saw the whole world, but I couldn't see the meaning
I couldn't even recognize my friends

In the first verse, Tom DeLonge's lyrics describe a journey from strangers becoming like brothers, only to drift apart and become strangers once more. This narrative suggests a sense of disillusionment or alienation in the face of evolving friendships. The line "We saw the whole world, but I couldn't see the meaning" reflects a sense of emptiness or confusion despite experiencing various aspects of life.

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]

Older, but nothing's any different
Right now feels the same, I wonder why
I wish they told us, it shouldn't take a sickness
Or airplanes falling out the sky
write introduction and explanation this song

Mark Hoppus takes over in the second verse, emphasizing the idea that despite growing older, life can still feel stagnant and unchanging. He hints at the desire for guidance or insight, expressed in the line "I wish they told us, it shouldn't take a sickness or airplanes falling out the sky." This may imply that sometimes, it takes a major life event or tragedy to make people appreciate the value of their relationships and the time they have.

The Complete Lyrics

[Verse 1: Tom DeLonge]
Strangers, from strangers into brothers
From brothers into strangers once again
We saw the whole world, but I couldn't see the meaning
I couldn't even recognize my friends

[Verse 2: Mark Hoppus]
Older, but nothing's any different
Right now feels the same, I wonder why
I wish they told us, it shouldn't take a sickness
Or airplanes falling out the sky

[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Do I have to die to hear you miss me?
Do I have to die to hear you say goodbye?
I don't wanna act like there's tomorrow
I don't wanna wait to do this one more time

[Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
One morе time
One more
Onе more time
One more time

[Verse 3: Tom DeLonge & Mark Hoppus]
I miss you, took time, but I admit it
It still hurts even after all these years
And I know that next time ain't always gonna happen
I gotta say, "I love you" while we're here
[Pre-Chorus: Tom DeLonge]
Do I have to die to hear you miss me?
Do I have to die to hear you say goodbye?
I don't wanna act like there's tomorrow
I don't wanna wait to do this one more time

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge & Travis Barker]
One more time
One more
One more time
One more time
One more time
One more time
One more
One more time
One more time
One more time
