Once Awhile

Verse I
Well, she told me that things could not stay
This way

As I waltzed off the edge of the stage I was in
And chipped off a bit of my youth

What's the use, what's the point of your plan
I demanded

She said "Look out, it's nearly September the third
And this ended back in July

She dropped hints I walked by
Now, I'm last to arrive

Chorus
It's forever, I can't change her mind
Gone forever, I can't change her mind

Verse II
I'm a man whose know not to let go
Yeah I know

Though she made her declaration simple and pure
I needed time to deny

Could it be I believed we're in love
I'll be damned

Six more circles through town and my best friends retort
Spat cinders that scattered the flame

Sometimes, no one's to blame
Now get use to this phrase

Chorus
It's forever, you won't change her mind
Gone forever, you can't change her mind
