Once

I admit it, what's to say, yeah

I'll relive it without pain

Mmm, backstreet lover on the side of the road

I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode

I got a 16-gauge buried under my clothes

I play

Once upon a time

I could control myself

Ooh, once upon a time

I could lose myself

Oh, try and mimic what's insane

I am in it, where do I stand?

Mmm, Indian summer and I hate the heat

I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat

I got my hand in my pocket so determined, discreet

I pray

Once upon a time

I could control myself

Ooh, once upon a time

I could lose myself, yeah, yeah

You think I got my eyes closed

But I'm looking at you the whole fucking time

Ooh, once upon a time

I could control myself, yeah

Once upon a time

I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah

Once upon a time

I could love myself, yeah

Once upon a time

I could love you, yeah, yeah, yeah

Once

Once

Once

Once

Yeah, once

Once, hey, yeah

Yeah, hey, yeah, yeah, hey, hey, hey

Once
