Had It Once

We had it once

Not long ago

I wasn't sure

But now I know

What we lost

And what we gained

I was standing at her place

And I was calling out her name

'Cause once we're broke

We play to win

Keep it stored behind our eyelids

And hide it deep within

Forget to learn

It’s so far away

It's only for short while

We should play it day by day

Click your heels

And wipe your sweat

There's so much empty space

Too many loud unwelcome guests

And I fell down to my knees

I told her she'd be sorry

That I'd never let her leave

I thought she knew

I thought she'd tell

I kept her boxed up in the attic

To make sure that she stays well

We had it once

We'll play it smart

Ignore the tearing at the edges

And the thawing of the heart

We got so old

We got so old

We got so old

What you learned

And what we named

I knew we had it once

And I thought you knew the same

Please come home

Please stop ripping up my chest

I got you motivating blinders

Leave them on when we undress

And what is lost

We'll retrieve

I'll keep you underneath my mattress

And I'll never let you breathe

Now I'm sure

Now I know

I promise you

Now I'll never let you go

No, I'll never let you go

No, I'll never let you go

I'll never let you go

No, I'll never let you go

I'll never let you go
