Once from Youth. by Kalle Mattson

Once I was a stranger, a stranger way back then
You were wearing a t-shirt, w/ a friend of a friend
& I still see you clearly, though the years pass by
Once I was a stranger, once upon a time

Once I was a dreamer, a dreamer in your eyes
I told you all of my secrets, my hopes, my disguise
In that borrowed car, under that summer sky
Once I was a dreamer, once upon a time

But what was lost, just can’t be found
Without a trace, without a sound
When you said “I’ll see you around”
But what was lost, just can’t be found

Once I was a killer, a killer without blood
& what seemed like everything, soon was never enough
& if you think about it, well darling don’t think twice
Once I was a killer, once upon a time

But what we lost, just can’t be found
Without a trace, without a sound
When you said “I’ll see you around”
But what we lost, just can’t be found

Once we were forever, forever in my mind
But if something don’t come true is it then a lie?
Once I was yours, once you were mine
Once we were forever, once upon a time
