Once in a While
Coral Pink Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got time
Don′t go no further
Don't need to touch
The sky below us
Still on your mind
Saying something?
Don′t listen now
You gotta do some living
Some days I don't know
What I got to do
Can I let things go?
Feel something new

I'll be your man
For one night
If it′s right
Trapped in my head
We should give it a try
We should be
Together once in a while
In a while
We should be
Together once in a while

Baby
You gotta be right
Don′t waste your time
Between the lines
Still on your mind
Saying something?
Don't listen now
You gotta do some living
Some days I don′t know
What I got to do
Can I let things go?
But can you let things go?

I'll be your man
For one night
If it′s right
Trapped in my head
We should give it a try
We should be
Together once in a while
In a while
We should be




Together once in a while
In a while

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Coral Pink's song "Once in a While" express a message about the timeless human struggle between the desire for emotional connection and the fear of emotional vulnerability. The song speaks to the idea that sometimes in life we have to take risks and let ourselves love, even if just for one night, in order to truly live. The opening lines "you got time, don't go no further, don't need to touch, the sky below us" suggest that the singer is encouraging the listener to slow down and stay in the present moment, rather than constantly striving for more or pushing away uncomfortable feelings. The lyrics "some days I don't know what I got to do, can I let things go, feel something new" communicate a sense of confusion and uncertainty, perhaps about the direction of the singer's life or the weight of past relationships.


The main recurring refrain "we should be together once in a while" underscores the idea that the singer is not necessarily seeking a long-term commitment or deep emotional involvement, but rather a casual encounter with someone they connect with. The lyrics "trapped in my head, we should give it a try" suggest that the singer is overthinking things and needs to take action, rather than just pondering the possibilities. The repetition of the line "in a while" at the end of each verse creates a sense of longing, as though the singer recognizes that this connection may only be temporary but still wishes for it to happen.


Overall, the song "Once in a While" is a poignant reminder of the power of connection and the necessity of taking risks in order to truly live. Its lyrics speak to the human experience in a way that is both relatable and emotionally resonant.
