Once

It was easier to have fun back when we had nothing

Nothing much to manage

Back when we were damaged

Sometimes the freedom we wanted feels so uncool

Just clean the pool

Send the kids to school

But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then

You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend

When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again

But it turns out

You only get to do it once

I think it's true what they say that the dream is borrowed

You give it back tomorrow

Minus the sorrow

And the pain she just comes in to break up the daydream

Her knife edges waving

To keep from feeling the same thing

But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then

You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend

When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again

But it turns out

You only get to do it once

You only get to do it once

You only get to do it once

You only get to do it once

(Once)

But oh, I remember how you used to shine, back then

You went down so easy like a glass of wine, my friend

When the dawn came up you felt so inspired to do it again

But you were wrong

You only get to do it once
