For Once in My Life Lyrics

Kylie Cantrall
"For Once in My Life" by Kylie Cantrall, Alexandro Byrd & Descendants is a touching pop song which is about having a true emotional connection for the first time after being always careful about one’s heart. The lyrics describe all the feelings of excitement and insecurity of being understood by somebody and thus being able to show one’s vulnerability. The entire song is dedicated to the experience of being scared of opening one’s heart to another person, hoping to have a true romantic relationship, and asking all kinds of questions regarding this decision. Thus, it is not about perfect romance, but rather about trusting someone, being open emotionally, and showing who one really is. Overall, the message of the song is very positive and comforting.

For Once in My Life Song Lyrics

For once in my life
It's like someone understands
Tryna hide it, but I can't even fake it

Got me wondering why
I was good at keeping cool
'Til you broke my only rule, I should hate it

Is it wrong to think that I'm not alone?
Could there be somebody who knows where I'm coming from for tonight?

You're making me wanna dare at something I never tried

For once in my life feels like I want to
Feels like I wanna know you better, better
Maybe for once in my life let down my guard with ya
Instead of acting like I'd never, never
For once in my wildest untamed dreams
Never thought I'd meet someone who sees me
For once in my life
For once in my life

There's somethin' 'bout you
That turns my thoughts into a mess
Know I'm strong, but I confess my heart's racin'

And you do it too
My stomach's full of butterflies
Something's in the air tonight, please don't change it

I'm startin' to think that I'm not alone
Maybe there's somebody who knows where I'm coming from (For tonight)
You're making me wanna dare at something I never tried

For once in my life feels like I want to
Feels like I wanna know you better, better
Maybe for once in my life let down my guard with ya
Instead of acting like I'd never, never
For once in my wildest untamed dreams
Never thought I'd meet someone who sees me
For once in my life
For once in my life

What if this is all too soon?

What if we were meant to lose?

Should we just turn back now?

Pretend we never found

Something that we never had?
Something that could maybe last

Is that so bad?

For once in my life feels like I want to
Feels like I wanna know you better, better
Maybe for once in my life let down my guard with ya
Instead of acting like I'd never, never, never
For once in my wildest untamed dreams
Never thought I'd meet someone who sees me
For once in my life
For once in my life
For once in my life
