Had It Once - Acollective

we had it once not long ago

i wasn’t sure but now i know

what we lost and what we gained

i was standing at her place and i was calling out her name

once we’re broke we play to win

keep it stored behind our eyelids and hide it deep within

forget to learn it’s so far away

it’s only for short while we should play it day by day

click your heels wipe your sweat

so much empty space too many loud unwelcome guests

and i fell down to my knees

i told her she’d be sorry that i’d never let her leave

I thought she knew thought she’d tell

i kept her boxed up in the attic to make sure that she stays well

we had it once

we’ll play it smart

ignore the tearing at the edges and the thawing of the heart

we got so old.

we got so old.

we got so old.

what you learned what we named

i knew we had it once and i thought you knew the same

please come home

please stop ripping up my chest

i got you motivating blinders leave them on when we undress

what is lost we’ll

retrieve i’ll keep

you underneath my mattress and i’ll never let you breathe

now i’m sure

now i know

i promise you, now i’ll never let you go

No I’ll never let you go

no I’ll never let you go

no I’ll never let you go

I’ll never let you go

no I’ll never let you go

I’ll never let you

go.

no i’ll never let you go.
