Tag: Once More

Your full moon may be high
Shine down from a dark sky
But a great fire burns behind the hill

It may be the sun rising
Or a case of me demising
But one thing I know I’m in love with you

Your love, that love
That fire once burned from above
That fire, your love
Your love now burns within my love

I once was in a drought
Surrounded by the pain
Leftover by a stranger’s crying tears

Then you came in my life
Like a washing summer rain
And lit my drying bones on fire again

Your love, that love
That fire that burned from above
That fire, your love
Your love now burns within my love

I could keep on fighting
Or I could just let go
I choose to be the man who fights
The man I want to be

Your love, you loved
Your love burned up on all of me
Your fire, it’s gone out
But I’ve got enough for you and me

Your love, our love
That fire that burned from above
That fire, our love
That fire now burns within us love

I’ve been walking through this desert
Searching for a sign
Carrying the weight of
These failures of mine

But I can feel the wind is changing
I can feel it in my bones
A voice inside is calling
Calling me back home

The mirror showed a stranger
But her eyes were just like mine
I saw the cracks around the edges
I see their design

Let’s gather up the ashes
And build something new
With every step, I’m closer
I’m closer to you

This is the turning, the rising, the fight
Breaking the darkness, stepping into the light
No more running, no more hiding away
I’ll be the man you deserved every day

I thought the fire had burned out
But it never really died
It was waiting, quietly smoldering
For us to reignite

I’m coming back, I’m coming through
To find the love I lost in you
The man I’ll be, the one you’ll see
Will carry us to eternity

It’s time for us to come back home
It’s time for us to come back home
We will never be alone
It’s time for us to come back home

I drove back from the ocean
Just to see your face
I looked down at my reflection
And your warm embrace

I kept the key to our apartment
I couldn’t bear to let it go
Every day was a reminder
Of the man I couldn’t be

Of the man I want to be
Of the man I want to see
Of the man I came to be, baby if you could just see
You’d remember everything

Hallelujah

The summer of our lives
Began to burn
A warm embrace
Began to turn

What once was love
Turned into hate
A friend that was
No longer relates

As time went on
With each passing sun
The more I tried
The more came undone

I loved her more
Than I could know
I didn’t want
To let her go

Pre Chorus:

But I let her go
She’s no longer mine
And now that she’s gone
She’s out of my mind

Chorus:

The day I forgot her
I don’t much remember
But I felt much better
Sometime in September

(Man):
I’m shouting out loud, but you don’t hear
You’re standing so close, yet you’re not near
I’ve held my tongue, but it’s giving way
And I can’t find the words to make you stay

Chorus (Both):
We’re spinning round, falling, breaking parts
Pieces of us, pieces of our hearts
We fought so long, we’ve worn so thin
This is the moment where the end begins

(Woman):
I’ve waited so long, I’ve held my ground
I built this bridge and then you tore it down
I can’t keep holding what you won’t defend
This is not the way I thought we’d end

Chorus (Both):
We’re spinning round, falling, breaking parts
Pieces of us, pieces of our hearts
We fought so long, we’ve worn so thin
This is the moment where the end begins

Bridge (Both, alternating lines):
(Man): You want a soldier, but I’m just a man
(Woman): You want a dreamer, but you’ve got no plan
(Man): You need perfection, but I’m just flawed
(Woman): I need a partner, not a daily vlog

Chorus (Both):
We’re spinning round, falling, breaking parts
Pieces of us, pieces of our hearts
We fought so long, we’ve worn so thin
This is the moment where the end begins

Outro (Both, harmonized):
This is the breaking, the final straw
We’ve torn each other with every flaw
No more battles, no more blame
We’ll both walk away, but we won’t be the same

Step with me follow now
I’m gonna show you how
Momma’s gonna cry no more
You’ve gone and shut the door

I’m on the road to heaven
You’re not even out of bed
I’m the kind of gal who’s driven
You’re the kind of man who’s led

Once more
Once more
Once more unto the breach
(repeat)

Shoot at me across my bow
My hand’s steady on the plow
Your momma’s gonna think she’s won
But you’re the one who’s keeping score

I’m the one whose kept on dancing
You’re not even on the floor
I’m the kind of man who’s living
You’re the kind who just wants more

Wants more
Wants more
Once more into the breach
(repeat)
