lyrics

Every Once In A While

A speck of dust in your eye
So hold on tightly
Hold on tightly

A speck of dust on the planet
We cling so closely
Cling so closely

A speck of you in my mind
We are not judgeful of anyone

Traditionally I'm a little weird
Don't be judging
I know I can say things that aren't clear
And sometimes backwards

All the way on home I will be near
And truly love you
Every Once In A while

And judgement seems to monitor myself
When I'm in love with no one else

And judgement seems to cloud my mind so bright
When I'm in love with no one else

A speck of dust in your eyes
We hold so tightly
We hold so tightly

A speck of dust on the clouds
Dissolves to nothing
Nothings here but

The speck of dust in your mind
We are not winning
We are not winning

Traditionally I'm a little weird
But don't be judging
Everything in my mind seems so clear
But always backwards

I'll focus on the things I thought were near
And sometimes love you
Every once in a while
