Once In A While Lyrics

There are so many things out there
So many stones to turn and stare at
I'm sure you're sorry but it's not enough to balance off
I can recall a happy song
But such a lot has turned out wrong
I'm only starting to appreciate how dark it got

Once in a while
Once in a while
Once in a while everything was perfect
Till you dragged the cat in
Once in a while

Until you ask me to
I don't know what I'll do
I don't wanna drive you away
I don't wanna beg you to stay
But I can't forgive you till you ask me one day

I threatened I would pack my bags
How could you ever let that happen?
I'm sure you're sorry but you never showed regret
I can't provide the compliments
To ease your mind at my expense
I know you love me but I'd rather've found you cared back then

Once in a while
Once in a while
Once in a while everything was perfect
Till you dragged the cat in
Once in a while

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
