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
And I felt his waving
To keep from feeling the same thing

But oh, l 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

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
