Once Lyrics by Something Sandy

Wouldn’t Mind a Good Adventure

2024

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
Built a castle once
Gave it my name, my life
Had a room for my brothers
One for my kids and my wife
Had a partner once
Stayed up to dream every night
But when parks get empty
And ten becomes twenty
It's hard not to give up the fight

[Verse 2]
Put my faith in a drunk conversation
Thought maybe I'd give up the world
You thought maybe someday we'd be famous
Decide to slay the dragon and you'd get the girl
Now, I know who I'm talking to
Guess it was never
You needed something to believe in
But I'm tired of hearing you sayin' you never knew
Sayin' I wasn't the reason

[Chorus]
So go when I'm not around
Go when the iron is hot
'Cus I'm tired of saying I'll go myself
And pretending you're someone you're not

[Post-Chorus]
Go throw away the bill
The riches I've earned us
Won't pay for the corners you've cut

[Bridge]
It's a fool who tried
When all the others have corrupt
Together in stride
I think that a couple of fools might just make it
If a couple of fools could commit

[Verse 3]
Wrote a novel once
Based on a rabbit named Pink
Sold a hundred copies
You can find my blood in the ink
You know I was younger once
In fact, I'm still just as naive
Gave my soul for dinner
Still went for my turn to eat

[Verse 4]
You know I loved you once
Guess it just ain't meant to be
'Cus I never met no one more careless than you
Or someone as careful as me

[Chorus]
So go when I'm not around
Go when I'm building my walls
Said we'd make it together
But turns out you're better than making anything at all

[Post-Chorus]
Go lean on someone else
It's about time you learned how to stand back
Oh, but I knew you'd fall

[Instrumental Outro]
