"Once"

I admit it

What's to say

I'll relive it

Without pain

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 pray

Once upon a time

I could control myself

Ooh, once upon a time

I could lose myself, yeah

Oh, try and mimic

What's insane

I am in it

Where do I stand?

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

You think I got my eyes closed

But I'm looking at you the whole fucking time

Once upon a time

I could control myself

Ooh, once upon a time

I could lose myself, yeah

Ooh, 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, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
