Lyrics for 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
