Once a While
Ride into Destiny: Calder's Tale of Youthful Recklessness
Lyrics
Harry, fifteen, summertime
Harry is fifteen years old during the summer.
GT250 flyin' by
A motorbike (GT250) is swiftly passing by.
On a dare
Harry takes a risk or a challenge.
Unprepared
He faces this challenge unprepared.
Harry, fifteen, not a care
Harry, being fifteen, doesn't have worries or concerns.
Wouldn't you change your mind on the other side?
Asking if someone would reconsider their decision when presented with an alternative or different perspective.
Wouldn't you change the tides, roll back the time?
Asking if someone would change the course of events or reverse time if they could.
You're young dumb, putting life up to a chance

Once a while it ends up in a crash
Occasionally, taking chances might lead to disastrous outcomes.
Knock it off

Crossing Indiana, he broke four minute nine

Put up against Stevie, he take it in with stride
