At Once

(album: Embrace - 2014)

At once
It doesn't have to happen all at once
Take as long as you will take
We can build it brick by brick
Everything collides at once
A sudden jolt and then you're gone
Done without a second thought
You pluck the flower from these thorns
As you leave

And it's not bad blood I'm bleeding
Just the big drop I'm feeling
From my blind spot you see me
Everything that matters
Is broken, lost and shattered all at once

Yeah, once
When I was six the world looked on
At sixty miles an hour I'd run
With you the air inside my lungs
Everything collides at once

As the flowers break the earth
So you and me can make this work
But you only drag the dirt
Under your feet
Looking at me wasting all my words
Knowing it's the years that do the work
Show me that you're fearless, drag the dirt down

And it's not bad blood I'm bleeding
Just the big drop I'm feeling
From my blind spot you see me
Everything that matters
Is broken, lost and shattered all at once

And it's not bad blood I'm bleeding
Just the big drop I'm feeling
From my blind spot you see me
Everything that matters
Is broken, lost and shattered all at once

By the way, I still break down
Thirty more and I lost count
A sucker punch will knock me out
