ONCE AGAIN
Carissa Espino-Valcourt, Julio Rodriguez

Well tonight
I′m dying to relive the past by your side
You and I
Let's be eighteen one more time

Yeah tonight
Let′s stop pretending when we're out of sight
You and I
Let's close our eyes and forget our goodbyes

Count the hellos
Feel your soul explode
′Cause now we′re running in circles
Tell me why we let time pass us by

And I can't race (We′re running separate ways)
In figure eight
All I see is your face
All I want is to have you once again, once again

Well tonight
Let's just fall in love like never before
You and I
Have something worth fighting for

Yeah tonight
Let′s go beyond the things we left unsaid
You and I
Let's go back into our secrets

Count the hellos
Feel your soul explode
′Cause now we're running in circles
Tell me why we let time pass us by

And I can't race (We′re running separate ways)
In figure eight
All I see is your face
All I want is to have you once again, once again

Once again, separate ways (We′re running separate ways)
Once again, separate ways (We're running separate ways)

Remember my lips wanting your kiss?
But no matter what I want, just leave it like this
And I can′t race, we're running separate ways
And I can′t race, we're running separate ways

Count the hellos
Feel your soul explode
′Cause now we're running in circles
Tell me why we let time pass us by

And I can't race (We′re running separate ways)
In figure eight
All I see is your face
All I want is to have you once again, once again

Once again, separate ways (We′re running separate ways)
Once again, separate ways (We're running separate ways)

Once again, separate ways (We′re running separate ways)
Once again, separate ways (We're running separate ways)
