You Only Love Once Lyrics

She had her hair pulled up like an old-time photograph

And wagon wheels behind her ears

She said it's just for a character I'm playing boy

You'd better not laugh

Cuz I've been playing her for years

We took a long walk

Into the shadows

Drowned our sins like a couple of adults

And I had something on my mind

We were lost then

Lost in the ether

I was tired I was dying to reach her

Then she put her hand in mine

You know, she said

You only love once

You know, she said

You only love once

I live my life like a movie

I got a heart made out of glass

They told me I could be famous

That I could do anything

I said you cut right through me

And I swear I saw her laugh

She said I'm nobody's baby

Don't be taken in

We were caught up

Fingers and buttons

That subtle heat at the start of a moment

As we left our world behind

We were lost then

Falling from heaven

The sun cried at the heart of the ocean

And she looked me in the eye

You know, she said

You only love once

You know, she said

You only love once
