Only The Once Lyrics

It starts with a simple kiss

My hand upon your thigh

And guilt upon your lips

Is this what you want?

Are you as scared as me?

It's hard to see the line

When we're crawling on our knees

And we pull each other close

(But only the once)

In the moment til it's passed

(But only the once)

And we break each other's hearts

And we never learn

I fall for this every time

As the criminal returns to

The scene of the crime

So I return to your open arms

If it's more than you can take

Then here's a word to fake

And another to disarm

And we pull each other close

(But only the once)

In the moment til it's passed

(But only the once)

And we tear ourselves apart

(But only the once)

And we break each other's hearts

And we never learn
