Just a moment
Right before all the song and dance
Wasn't brave enough to tell you
But there ain't gonna be another chance
It's not long until (All that I have)
And everything's still (One more hour)
Minutes are racing, whatever I've done
I did it for love (All that I have)
I did it for fun (One more hour)
Couldn't get enough (All that I have)
I did it for fame (One more hour)
But never for money
Not for houses, not for her
Not for my future children
Until now
[Verse 2]
How could I love again?
How could I ever ask for more?
And to the road ahead
Into a life I can't ignore
(Lose her) How could I love again?
(Move on) How can I walk this path for sure?
(Lose her) With no more time to spare
(Move on) I know the answer more and more
As long as I can, long as I can
Spend some time alone
As long as I can, long as I can
Be the man I am
[Bridge]
Ooh, life is strange
For one more hour
I can rage
For one more hour
[Chorus]
As long as I can (Lose her), as long as I can (Move on)
Spend some time alone
As long as I can (Lose her), as long as I can (Move on)
Remember who I am
As long as I can (Lose her), as long as I can (Move on)
Spend some time alone
As long as I can (How could I love again?), as long as I can
Be the man I am
[Outro]
Just a minute, fella, right before you go out there
All your voices said you wouldn't last a minute bare
One more hour and you'll know your life is one to share
Just a minute, baby, right before we go from here
All those people said we wouldn't last a minute near
I'm with you and I could roll into another year
Just a minute, fella, right before you go out there
All your voices said you wouldn't last a minute bare
One more hour and you'll know your life is one to share
Just a minute, baby, right before we go from here
All those people said we wouldn't last a minute near
I'm with you and I could roll into another year
Just a minute, fella, right before you go out there
All your voices said you wouldn't last a minute bare
About
The concluding track to The Slow Rush, “One More Hour” features Kevin thinking back on all that has led him to where he is, and what he has to look forward to in life. It touches on the records main theme of the passage of time, and what finding love has meant for his future. It starts with minimal piano, and slowly builds on itself with anthemic guitar riffs, hard hitting drums, laid back vocals and a woozy mix.

In an interview with Zane Lowe, Kevin Parker shared the following:
The start of the album was setting out a year, and then like, “One More Hour” was gonna be the last hour of that year, you know like where have we come to?
The time has come. Nothing left to prepare. Nothing left to worry about. Nothing left to do but sit and observe the stillness of everything as time races faster than ever. Even shadows cast by the sun appear to move. My future comes to me in flashes, but it no longer scares me. As long as I remember what I value the most.
