Once Lyrics - Singles - Perl Jam

I admit it...what's to say... 

I'll relive it...without pain... 

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... 

Oh, try and mimic what's insane... 

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...
