My once and again friend
You cross my mind now and then
And when you do I wish that I could ask you
How does your heart fare
Cause the weather's felt a bit cool in there
The last few times that I
Have seen you out somewhere
And I want to remind you
That my heart knows you
It rolls like you
It opens and closes its doors too
And I see you in there
But I will not stare
You can use whatever mask
Feels safe to wear
My once and again friend
I love you like I loved you
From the beginning
And I will love you til the end
Once and again friend
You make it hard
To defend all the love
That I want to send to you
I will love you the same
And I will not blame you
Even if you cant say my name
Without feeling some kind of pain
I know how deep forgiveness gets
To work through hurt without regrets
I've already taken the dive
To accept...
What's mine
And seen it as a gift of the divine
So now's your chance
To be your love
To show you what you're made of
My once and again friend
I love you like I loved you
From the beginning
And I will love you til the end
Once and again friend
You make it hard
To defend all the love
That I want to send to you
Well it hurts to see yourself in me, I know
But when you come to something
Like a wound in need of mending
Will you see it as your own?
Will you own what you've been shown?
Or will you choose not to see me anymore
Slam the door hit the floor
As I come walking by as if to hide
What I've already spied with my loving eye?
My once and again friend
You're out there doing the best you can
And saving the world
Trying not to pretend
And I'll see all your beauty even if I never see you again
My once and again friend
I love you like I loved you
From the beginning
And I will love you til the end
Once and again friend
You make it hard
To defend all the love
That I want to send to you
