Just One More Time
Let the ache of it slip away
Down your shoulders, past your waist
Just like back in time
Lay yourself down to unwind
Let me lay with you beside
Just like back in time
I see your eyes, they're always closed
Always dragging me so close
I'm like iron
You're like a magnet
You live like a novel
In another language
You live like a novel I can't read
Just give me one more time
I see the sun begin to set
I'm sure you haven't been satisfied yet
Just like back in time
It hurts to see those empty eyes
Staring back like I see mine
Just like back in time
I look inside to see you there
Digging pools to bury despair
And is it me?
Or is it you?
You live like you're broken
But that's through eyes of bias
I live to repair what isn't broken
Just give me one more time
I try to unravel your mind
Understand what I can't find
Just like back in time
I let the memories wash me clean
To erase the thoughts of what I've seen
Just like back in time
I try to learn what makes you you
To see why you act the way you do
But I learned it's tough
To accept differences
You live like you choose to
And I swear I'll love you
I'll live like I choose to and I ask
Just give me one more time
