Once in a While Lyrics by Emily Hackett

By the Moon (EP)

2019

[Verse 1]
Should I wonder where he goes?
Or if he stays?
Who he might be taking home
If I know her name
Does it end with a kiss?
Does he think of my lips?
When it don't feel the same

[Chorus]
Well, I've moved on with my life
I'd like to think you're doing alright
The smell of cheap red wine
The hint of day-old smoke brings you to mind
Once in a while

[Verse 2]
Wonder if he's saving up to finally take that trip
If he still hates his job
Or if he finally quit
Bet my not being there
Has helped him getting somewhere
More than I'd like to admit

[Chorus]
Well, I've moved on with my life
I'd like to think you're doing alright
The smell of cheap red wine
The hint of day-old smoke brings you to mind
Once in a while

[Bridge]
Don't try to find reasons why
Leave it all behind
Won't you smile
When I cross your mind?

[Chorus]
Well, I've moved on with my life
I'd like to think you're doing alright
The smell of cheap red wine
The hint of day-old smoke brings you to mind
Once in a while
