Once More to See You Lyrics

In the rear view mirror
I saw the setting sun on your neck
And felt the taste of you bubble up inside me
But with everybody watching us
Our every move
We do have reputations
Will you keep it secret
Won't let them have it
So come inside and be with me
Alone with me
Alone with me
Alone
If you would let me give you pinky promise kisses
Then I wouldn't have to scream your name atop of every roof in the city of my heart
If I could see you
Once more to see you
Come inside and be with me
Alone with me
Alone with me
Alone
If you would let me give you pinky promise kisses
Then I wouldn't have to scream your name atop of every roof in the city of my heart
If I could see you
Once more to see you
If I could see you
Once more to see you

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.

whenever i hear this song i think of not only being kept hidden in a relationship, but also the ways she accepted it herself and almost desired the secrecy as well. i think of how i’ve experienced this, and the ways you rationalize with yourself that it’s good for you, because if it’s kept hidden, it’s all yours. all of the moments she shared with him were only between them, and only something they could understand, and i think she knew that if it was let out, it would unveil the truth that they were only what she made them to be, and could only be that in their secrecy.

"Once More To See You" is seemingly about a hidden relationship. She talks about her discomfort with the eyes of people around her, having to keep this relationship hidden and wanting nothin more than to see them again, but the other person seems slightly apprehensive.
