“For Tonight” is the second track on Emma Grace’s first album. It is a sensual invitation to a one – night stand or a quick romance for instant satisfaction and gratification. She mourns her irreplaceable love, but knows it’s past and that it’s important to “fake it till you make it”.
Verse:
You know that there’s something I should say
I don’t usually do this -
(Six) but today
I’ve realised
Life is too short and we are still young
So won’t you be my spark?
We took a bite out of forbidden fruit
You looked so pleadingly I couldn’t refuse and I-
Ooh
Chorus:
You’re not mine and you’ll never be
But-
Hey, look at what we’re doing
You’re not mine
And this is wrong
But, seems like we’re not stopping
I can’t be with someone else so
Here we are
Just for tonight-
You’ll be mine
Verse:
No, I will not call you when tomorrow comes
If you’re catching feelings (well then)
I’d rather you run
I’d overdose -
But you’re just a rush
I don’t have the time
(Money, power, glory)
To call this love
Chorus:
You’re not mine and you’ll never be
But-
Hey, look at what we’re doing
You’re not mine
And this is wrong
But, seems like we’re not stopping
My one love
It got away so, here we are
Just for tonight-
You’ll be mine

It is a sad ballad about the power of “lust” in “desire” in hopes of replacing a broken heart and love, even when the action is wrong and desire is misplaced. We often look for any human connection to momentarily forget the person we’re missing.
