Once [July 22, 2006] lyrics

I admit it -- what's to say? Yeah
I'll relive it without pain

Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes
I play

Once upon a time, I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time, I could lose myself, yeah

Oh, try and mimic what's insane, ooh
I am in it, where do I stand?

Oh, Indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet
I pray

Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah

You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole f*ckin' time

Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah
Once, once, once, once
Yeah, once, once, yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
