It Only Has To Happen Once - Ambitious Lovers

It only has to happen once

For anybody else’s skin to feel

Rough or too thin

All it takes is a quick constellation

Of daylight, headlights

And precipitation

It only has to happen once

For anybody else’s sweat to taste

Too salty or sweet

It doesn’t take two nations or two signatures

Just two pupils and one fool

It only has to happen once

It only has to happen once

For every caress to read as Desperate or repressed

Before a baby can tell right from wrong

It already knows the song

It only has to happen once

All it takes is a quick constellation

Of shadows, lashes

And implication

It only has to happen once
