For Once Lyrics by Courtney Swain, Tim Doherty

For Once

2022

You were so sweet in my dream
Swimming through the shadows together
We became a watercolor
Your cheeks a high orange
And your shadows turned royal blue
And I could have sworn that you looked like the hero
For once

And then I took your photo
Fluffed up like a porn star
Overexaggerated body parts
You said kind words to me
At once, I felt like you understood me
That you felt my pain
And I swear I felt like a hundred dollars
For once

I was eager to please

I was eager to please
I was eager to please
Cut away my dignity
As long as you're nice to me
