One November is a deeply introspective song that explores the bittersweet emotions of unrequited love and missed connections. Set against the backdrop of a rainy November day, the narrator recounts a fleeting encounter at a bus stop, where a brief exchange with someone they admire is marked by silence and emotional distance. The narrator struggles with unspoken feelings, unable to share their love, and instead chooses to keep it bottled inside. The song reflects on the pain of harboring these emotions in solitude, questioning when, or if, they’ll ever subside. The repetition of “I’ll keep it inside” echoes the internal conflict between desire and restraint, while the rainy, melancholic setting amplifies the feeling of longing and yearning for something that might never be.

One November lyrics
I’ve seen you around here and there
I guess you never noticed me
But that’s okay, that’s okay
Maybe that’s how it’s meant to be
You’re busy with your stuff
Running here and there
Tryna reach the top
You don’t have much time to spare
We spoke once
Sure you don’t remember
We spoke once
Sure you don’t remember
At a bus stop
On a rainy day, one November
One November
I said “Hi’ as the wind blew
But you didn’t seem to hear
Maybe you’re not to blame
Maybe my words weren’t clear
Yeah I guess I love you
But I’ll never tell you that
I’ll just keep it inside
I’ll keep it inside
I’ll keep it inside
It won’t go away what I feel
I feel it growing every day
But no-one knows, no-one knows
When will it stop I just can’t say
It’s hurting when I smile
Trying to be me
Knowing it’s in vain
My heart just won’t let me be
We spoke once
Sure you don’t remember
We spoke once
Sure you don’t remember
At a bus stop
On a rainy day, one November
One November
I said “Hi’ as the wind blew
But you didn’t seem to hear
Maybe you’re not to blame
Maybe my words weren’t clear
Yeah I guess I love you
But I’ll never tell you that
I’ll just keep it inside
I’ll keep it inside
I’ll keep it inside
Yeah I guess I love you
But I’ll never tell you that
I’ll just keep it inside
I’ll keep it inside
I’ll keep it inside
I’ll just keep it inside
I’ll keep it inside
I’ll keep it inside
We spoke once
Sure you don’t remember
We spoke once
Sure you don’t remember
At a bus stop
On a rainy day
One November
One November
On a rainy day
One November
