Once Lyrics

(Once) I didn't know you but I saw your trash on the curb
(Once) I'd sit and watch it burn, I couldn't find any words.
(Now) I think I've find them, turns out you've got some words of your own
(Now) Let's try to hide them for (once) this story, this story.

(Once) You made no questions and I try to hum back the words
(Once) Go see it our way when we promised no one gets hurt
(Now) Let's visualize it again, we'll write it right off the page
(Now) Feels so imaginary, (once) this story, this story

(Once) You look so happy together, and
(Once) You seem so happy together, and
(Now) This story's film is falling
(Now) This story (once) keeps falling down.

(Once) You look so happy together, and
(Once) You seem so happy together, and
(Now) This story's (now) over, it's over
(Now) This story (once) keeps falling down.

(Once) You look so happy together, and
(Once) You seem so happy together, and
(Now) This story's (now) over, it's over
(Now) This story (once) keeps falling down.

(Once) You look so happy together, and
(Once) You seem so happy together, and
(Now) This story's (now) over, it's over
(Now) This story (once) keeps falling down.

(Once) You look so happy together, and
(Once) You seem so happy together, and
(Now) This story's (now) over, it's over
(Now) This story (once) keeps falling down.

Cover art for Once lyrics by OSI

Moore falls in love with girl. Both promise each other they won't hurt themselves.

Shit happens.

The relationship ends. Girl finds another guy, hurts Moore.

And so this song gets made.

It can also be interpreted like this: the 'once' lines talk about how great and happy their relationship was, while the 'now' lines refer to how things got to a point that they're just hurting each other, the relationship stalemated, etc.

Not Valid

This song is amazing but I have no clue what the hell it means, but it makes me think

A song about not wanting to leave someone or part with some thing?
