Metric - Just The Once

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)
(Said it would be)
