Just The Once - Metric/Emily Haines/James Shaw
Composed by:Emily Haines/James Shaw
Seems at the time it will be just the once
And even I used to be innocent once
I couldn't wait get us out of this place
Before once becomes once in a while
Soon it's a race it's a rush and a high
Steal an embrace it starts with one little lie
Try once again to redefine now and then
Before once becomes once in a while
Said it would be just the once woo yeah
Said it would be just the once woo yeah
Said it would be just for fun woo yeah
Said it would be just for fun
Just the once
Once you arrive there's only so far to fall
Ask how you got here it gets hard to recall
Head for the door it pulls you back in once more
Baby once becomes once in a while
Said it would be just the once woo yeah
Said it would be just the once woo yeah
Said it would be just for fun woo yeah
Said it would be just for fun
Just the once
Said it would be yeah woo yeah
Once yeah woo yeah
Once yeah woo yeah
Once yeah woo yeah
Said it would be
Though we trace the outline clearly
Of morality and honesty
We observe the outline rarely
And eventually unknowingly
We erase the outline
What happens when the ground beneath disappears
What once were days will feel like thousands of years
But who's to say it isn't better this way
Look at me now I'm free you'll survive
Said it would be just the once woo yeah
Said it would be just the once woo yeah
Said it would be just for fun woo yeah
Said it would be just for fun
Just the once
Said it would be
Once yeah woo yeah
Once yeah woo yeah
Once yeah woo yeah
Once yeah woo yeah
Said it would be
