Dylan Galvin - My Once in a Lifetime Lyrics

I carried around a wooden gun that shot rubber bands
She dressed up just like a princess with a wand in her hand
I always knew that we would end up being friends
And that was us
For fifteen years we spent our afternoons with one another
But after school one day I looked at her and I discovered
I wanted to tell her that I love her
That was us
As I was rehearsing my confession in the mirror
I heard the news her dad was stationed far across the sea
They had packed up all their things and they were heading
Three thousand miles from me
There she goes my once in a lifetime
There she goes my once in a lifetime
Seven years and not a woman who could sway my heart
I could only picture her and I in my backyard
The two of us catching fireflies in a jar
And that was us
I scoured every phonebook I could find across the state
But when I called and asked the answer always was the same
By now she probably doesn't have the same last name
There she goes my once in a lifetime
There she goes my once in a lifetime
Maybe it wasn't meant to be
And all we'll have is memories
The years roll on in silence
My heart is getting used to the quiet
I can't help but dream I see her walking down the street
And she turns to tell me
Oh, you can't get away from me twice
No, you can't get away from me twice
There she goes my once in a lifetime
There she goes my once in a lifetime
There she goes my once in a lifetime
There she goes my once in a lifetime
My once in a lifetime
My once in a lifetime
My once in a lifetime
