One Time Lyrics

Stroke 9

One time
I gave up cause I couldnt feel
And I gave in cause it sounded like a steal
Spending time on my back now
Thinking bout the facts now
How bout this and how about that...well here we go
I like to think Im on top of things
But this life will bring what it will bring, you know
I like to think Im on top of things
But this life will bring what it will bring
And my less that larger brain is contorting the synapses
Sent from the ends of my dangling nerves
Give me just one time
Two times
You know its just where Im at
Im waving as I go
I got up, I never thought Id get there
My mind doesnt mind cause my mind wont dare
Wake up, shake up and wind up on my back
How bout this and how about that
I wanna wipe the plastic smile off my face
I wanna win without entering the race
I want to say what I mean and mean what I say
I just need something to mean anything
And my less that larger brain is contorting the synapses
Sent from the ends of my dangling nerves
Give me just one time
Two times
You know its just where Im at
Im waving as I go
You gotta give me just one time
Two times
You know its just where Im at
Im waving as I go
I just wanna get through
I dont know how Im gonna do it
I wanna get through
