Once by Nerina Pallot Lyrics

Back to the earth
From whence you come
Down to the bone
The cold and the rain
You bang on the window
You sing like a bird in a cage
And you feel like
A rat on a wheel
Oh, would something give...

Just this once, once
Let something good happen
Just this once, once
Let the stars align
Just this one time

It's not that I want
The world to be mine
Oh, an army of hearts
When one would be fine
I just want some respite from
The voice in my head
These nails on a blackboard
This grave for a bed
Oh, won't something give now...
Just once, once
Let something good happen
Just this once, once
Let the stars align
Just this one time

It feels like a whistle
Time
And it flows
'round the corners
And through my hands

Oh

Just once, once
Let something good happen
Just this once, once
Let the stars align
Just one time
One time please
One time please
