Lyrics

I admit it...what's to say...yeah..
I'll relive it...without pain...mmm..
Backstreet lover on the side of the road
I got a bomb in my temple that is gonna explode
I got a sixteen gauge buried under my clothes, I play..
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah..

Oh, try and mimic what's insane...ooh, yeah..
I am in it...where do I stand?
Oh, indian summer and I hate the heat
I got a backstreet lover on the passenger seat
I got my hand in my pocket, so determined, discreet...i pray..
Once upon a time I could control myself
Ooh, once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah..

You think I got my eyes closed
But I'm lookin' at you the whole fuckin' time..

Ooh, once upon a time I could control myself, yeah..
Once upon a time I could lose myself, yeah, yeah, yeah..
Once, upon a time I could love myself, yeah..
Once upon a time I could love you, yeah, yeah, yeah..

Once (4x)
Yeah...once, once...yeah, yeah..
Yeah...yeah, yeah...yeah, yeah...oww..
