Once and for Real
Avril Lavigne Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
doesnโt matter, our faiths will collide
you can pull the plug out
watch all the water strain
still I know it would be the same,
still I know it would be the same
I see it in my mindโs eye
so I know, itโs worth the wait
Oh, once is enough, thatโs how I feel
we do this once and for real
love, is strong enough
so hereโs the deal,
we do this once and for real
Iโm building my life to include you
so for now I have someone to look for ado
Iโm in no hurry, no worries, youโre out there somewhere
still I hope you will be here soon,
still I hope you will be here soon
I see it in my mindโs eye
a world made just for you and I
so I know, itโs worth the wait
Oh, once is enough, thatโs how I feel
we do this once and for real
love, is strong enough
so hereโs the deal,
we do this once and for real
Iโm waiting for something
Iโm waiting for someone
Iโm waiting for you
Oh, once is enough, thatโs how I feel
we do this once and for real
love, is strong enough
so hereโs the deal,
we do this once and for real
