Lyrics
“Once More” (fuller)
I’ve seen, 4 in the morning way too much
And I’ve been staying up for far too long
It’s not nearly the same without your touch
I keep thinking back and wondering
How could this be gone
Scenes from a love story played out in my brain
I watch it over and over and over and over again
When you said you don’t want love
I think you said too much
And I’ve been trying to fast forward
To the day we keep in touch
I wont beat around the bush no more
If it’s not worth fighting (working) (trying)for
But in my mind, I just hit rewind
And love you once more
I go back to look for the heart I used to have
Hoping I would find you near, And I miss that
Along with the passion and the flames
That used to burn so bright but now have disappeared
Scenes from a love story flashing through my mind
Is it just a matter of time
Now you say you don’t need love
I say you think too much
I’m trying to Fast Forward
To the day you’re not my crutch
I’ll be around a little more
And it’s me I’m praying for
But in my mind I just press rewind
