Once in a Lifetime Kind
Eternal Echoes: Embracing the Once in a Lifetime Kind
Lyrics
Is it weird that I don't wanna leave yet
Expressing reluctance to leave the current situation or relationship.
This is the most fun I've had since I don't even know when
Highlighting the exceptional enjoyment experienced, comparing it to a distant past.
And if I'm this drunk on you should I even be driving
Questioning the appropriateness of driving due to being intoxicated with emotions.
Criss crossing the lines on I-45 cause you're stuck in my mind again
Driving erratically (symbolized by Criss crossing) due to preoccupation with thoughts of the person.
Every time I leave you it becomes clear
Every departure emphasizes the importance of the relationship.
Like the Universe in my ear
Comparing the clarity of realization to the vastness of the universe.
Saying don't let this one disappear
An inner voice urging not to let go of the current relationship.
I need someone like you
Expressing a desire for a specific type of person (like the one being addressed).
Someone who's got my back like you do
Appreciating the support and loyalty of the addressed person.
Someone who looks at me like the truth and you already do
Acknowledging the genuine and honest gaze of the person.
Yeah, I'm gonna lay it all on the line
Committing to being honest and open about feelings.
It's not a question of if
Asserting that expressing feelings is not a matter of if but when.
It's just a matter of time
Emphasizing the inevitability of expressing feelings over time.
Before I speak up
Anticipating the act of speaking up about emotions.
There's certain things I can't pass up
Referring to irresistible opportunities in life.
And you're the Once in a Lifetime Kind
Describing the person as a unique and extraordinary opportunity in life.
No I ain't blind
Asserting that one is not oblivious to the uniqueness of the person.
And even if this kills me well that's fine
Acceptance of potential consequences, suggesting that the person is worth any sacrifice.
Yo I been thinking
Indicating contemplation about the future of the relationship.
I wanna be the one you're seeing on the weekends
Expressing a desire to be a significant part of the other person's life.
Give you warm and fuzzy feelings in the evenings for no reason
Desiring to bring warmth and happiness without a specific reason.
Na you ain't dreaming it's just a feeling
Confirming that the positive feelings are real and not a dream.
Every time I leave you yea it becomes clear
Reiterating the clarity gained upon leaving and returning to the person.
You've got what I need
Acknowledging that the person possesses something essential.
Universe in my ear screaming don't let her leave
Symbolizing an internal voice urging not to let the person go.
I need someone like you
Expressing a need for a person with specific qualities, similar to the addressed individual.
Someone who lifts me up through the roof
Appreciating the uplifting influence of the person.
Someone who looks at me like the truth and you already do
Acknowledging the sincere and truthful gaze of the person.
Yeah I'm gonna lay it all on the line
Committing to being open and honest about feelings.
It's not a question of if
Reiterating the inevitability of expressing emotions over time.
It's just a matter of time
Anticipating the act of speaking up about emotions.
Before I speak up
Referring to irresistible opportunities in life.
There's certain things I can't pass up
Emphasizing the existence of certain things that cannot be ignored.
And you're the Once in a Lifetime Kind
Reiterating the uniqueness and rarity of the person.
And I ain't blind
Asserting that one is not oblivious to the uniqueness of the person.
No I ain't blind
Affirming awareness of the person's uniqueness.
