Once in a Lifetime

Last time I drove these roads
Was when it all began
Only for tonight but
It's good to visit home again

The classrooms look twice as small when you've grown
We would dream and stare out the window
At meathead jocks who were twice my size
These days the team stays dry because
Fields of mud and dark brown dirt
Have made way for the bright green turf
Crumbling bricks became smooth cement
I ask myself where the time went

After I gassed the car and took the leap
And started off to the open sea
You gotta have the faith to try
Cause some things are once in a lifetime
Always keep a piece of your heart in this town
Even if it feels like it's making you drown
You gotta have faith to try
Some things are once in a lifetime

The next left is the Cul-de-sac
Nowadays I drive straight past
Cause I made a choice to turn my back on a friend
Don't think I'll ever make that turn again
Cause I chose the open ocean
Instead of looking back towards the shore
So I'll drive on through the cold towards home
And my family will keep me warm

After I gassed the car and took the leap
Started off to the open sea
You gotta have faith to try
Cause some things are once in a lifetime
Always keep a piece of your heart in this town
Even if it feels like it's making you drown
You gotta have faith to try
Some things are once in a lifetime

The same hearts
Who beat for me back then
Still beat in time
Through the freezing wind
Always keep a piece of your heart in this town
Even if it feels like it's making you drown
You gotta have faith to try
Some things are once in a lifetime

After I gassed the car and took the leap
Started off to the open sea
You gotta have the faith to try
Cause some things are once in a lifetime
Always keep a piece of your heart in this town
Even if it feels like it's making you drown
You gotta have faith to try
Some things are once in a lifetime

The same hearts
Who beat for me back then
Still beat in time
Through the freezing wind
Always keep a piece of your heart in this town
Even if it feels like it's making you drown
You gotta have faith to try
Some things are once in a lifetime
