At the first sign of winter's cold
I took your hand in mine
At the first sign of autumn leaves

You took these eyes and made them shine

Just for once

Would you let me be the one?
Would you let me be the one?


At the first sign of summer's sun
We sat down, watched those waves
But at the first sign of bad weather

You left me searching again

And I wish just for once


Chorus:


We'd be out of our minds
We'll risk all we could ever know
We'd be running so fast

God couldn't set us to stone
Would you let me be the one?
Would you let me be the one?


On the night of our lives
You saw straight through these pair of lies

And you gave me the keys to your car
We drove out for miles and miles
We looked out on those city lights

And shouted out to the stars

Just for once


Chorus:


We'd be out of our minds
We'll risk all we could ever know
We'd be running so fast

God couldn't set us to stone
Would you let me be the one?
Would you let me be the one?


I wish just for once
I wish just for once

I wish just for once
Let me hold you, love
Let me be, let me be the one


Just for once
