Give me one more second to dry my eyes

Give me one more day to realize […]

Give me one more year to get back on track

Give me one more life to win you back

Matt Berninger · “One More Second”
Written by Matt Berninger, Matt SheehySerpentine Prison, 2020

In his words

“…a kind of answer to Dolly Parton’s ‘I Will Always Love You’, or sort of the other side of that conversation. I just wanted to write one of those classic, simple, desperate love songs that sound great in your car.”

Matt Berninger, release statement, The Line of Best Fit, 2020
