At Once - Embrace

At once

It doesn’t have to happen all at once

Take as long as you will take

We can build it brick by brick

Everything collides at once

A sudden jolt and then you’re gone

Done without a second thought

You pluck the flower from these thorns

As you leave

And it’s not bad blood I’m bleeding

Just the big drop I’m feeling

From my blind spot you see me

Everything that matters

Is broken, lost and shattered all at once

Yeah, once

When I was six the world looked on

At sixty miles an hour I’d run

With you the air inside my lungs

Everything collides at once

As the flowers break the earth

So you and me can make this work

But you only drag the dirt

Under your feet

Looking at me wasting all my words

Knowing it’s the years that do the work

Show me that you’re fearless, drag the dirt down
