Lyrics
You're Only King Once
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Have you seen that moon-faced kid?
That burned out hill hangs right above his head
It's so hard not to be crushed
When you're praying for too much
And the stars refuse to shine for you
They do it just to spy
Well they know you're trying to hard
Hoping for a little more than just another kiss goodnight
Your face is full and paved with lines
Your hair is receding fast and so is your mind
And i'm lazy, i won't budge
Because you're praying way too much
And don't take that pill
Your head will swell
You'll only be king once
Just once,
You'll only be king
Smile, please smile
I just want you happy
Smile, please smile
I just want you happy
And the stars refuse to shine for you
They do it just to spy
Well they know you're trying to hard
Smile, please smile
I just want you happy
Smile, please smile
I just want you happy
I just want you happy
I just want you happy
