Just Once

We're sitting alone, it's the perfect romance,

We're so in love, oh when will we kiss?

She smiles at me but I can't meet her eyes,

She thinks there's something more but it's so hollow

Just once, I wish it was you

Just once, I wish it was you

That you were the one beside me when I tried,

And you were the one beside me when my dreams died.

Just once, I wish we could spend the night together,

And we could be somewhere with just one another.

Just once I wish you were with me

I won't look at her, and she storms away,

The watchers whisper how could I throw her away?

But I won't miss her, I never wanted her.

I wish I wasn't human so I wouldn't err.

The couples go and dance,

The night fades so like my last chance.

Such is how it goes

When you're the only one who knows

How bad a plane crash hurts

When you can't find your hand on hers

Just once, I wish it was you

Just once, I wish it was you

That you were the one beside me when I tried,

And you were the one beside me when my dreams died.

Just once, I wish we could spend the night together,

And we could be somewhere with just one another.

Just once I wish you were with me

Alone sometimes it seems I can't go on,

All the dreams and hopes are long gone.

I look at the floor and wonder where to go,

When I'll find that light I just don't know.

But I find myself wishing again,

That this would quickly end,

And I could see you with me, just once

Just once, I wish it was you

That you were the one beside me when I tried,

And you were the one beside me when my dreams died.

Just once, I wish we could spend the night together,

And we could be somewhere with just one another.

Just once I wish you were with me

I'd give my everything for that one chance,

And together we go and have that dance.

I'd hold you tight and whisper in your ear,

That I would be perfect and always here.

And just once, I wouldn't have to wish for you
