Once More Songtext
von CHRIS CASEY

Yeah

I was never too afraid of the world ′til I saw more of it
The sun was burning my eyes, I wasn't sure if it was
All a dream, shit, I never believed
Until I had it all on a screen right in front of me

It′s funny how it all comes back around
From fumbling up on my words, pressing keys getting different sounds
To big britches and bigger shoes to be filled out
I'm still the same dude, but I'm moving different now
A couple meetings, new album every season
Demos on the phone, band practice on the weekends

Always knew I was never the type for school
A cap, gown, and diploma, it was all a little fleeting
Always thought they never saw what I was seeing
I guess we all just needed something to believe in
So if the record skips and they screaming for encores
Just take it to the top and play the track back once more


I wanna start from the top, I wanna get it right just one more time
I′ll give it all that I got, I wanna see you light up and see you shine
′Cause there was one too many times where I dropped the ball, I lost my mind
But if you gave me one more chance, I'd want it all right here tonight

I was never too afraid of the future ′til I saw more of it
The pressure heavy on my mind, I wasn't sure if it was
Up to me to make it all complete
It was too many days where I hung my head in defeat, but

Through it all I stood tall, never regress
Just had to take some time, get my feet wet
I had to line ′em up and give 'em hell, all the American rejects
And now it′s 'bout time for a reset
Can't pretend that I ain′t been going up, it ain′t no secret
Used to be under the stairs, try to give it all meaning

Some long nights where your voice was ringing
In the back of my mind, I'd cry, you′d be singing
As many times where I couldn't believe it
Many times where I thought I′d never beat it
Now I'm faced with a path and there′s nothing but one door
Let's just take it to the top once more


I wanna start from the top, I wanna get it right just one more time
I'll give it all that I got, I wanna see you light up and see you shine
′Cause there was one too many times where I dropped the ball, I lost my mind
But if you gave me one more chance, I′d want it all right here tonight
