You Only Love Once

She had her hair pulled up like an old-time photograph And wagon wheels behind her ears She said it's just for a character I'm playing boy You'd better not laugh Cuz I've been playing her for years We took a long walk Into the shadows Drowned our sins like a couple of adults And I had something on my mind We were lost then Lost in the ether I was tired I was dying to reach her Then she put her hand in mine You know, she said You only love once You know, she said You only love once I live my life like a movie I got a heart made out of glass They told me I could be famous That I could do anything I said you cut right through me And I swear I saw her laugh She said I'm nobody's baby Don't be taken in We were caught up Fingers and buttons That subtle heat at the start of a moment As we left our world behind We were lost then Falling from heaven The sun cried at the heart of the ocean And she looked me in the eye You know, she said You only love once You know, she said You only love once
