about

This demo was written and recorded soon after the release of her second album Junkk (Music for the Soul). Whilst the final production has a chorus that took a different more poignant turn, we selected to include this original version in the album, as it captures a more resigned yet independent perspective for a relationship that ended.

lyrics

ONCE IN A LIFETIME
Words and music by Phoenix J

You asked me if I mind
You needed to take some time
I'll find somebody else
Still I'd need nobody else
For once in my lifetime
I thought once in my lifetime
You'd go where you know there is nobody else but me

But I'll let you go
I'll let you leave
I'll let you say goodbye cos you can't handle this
I'll let you go honey
I'll let you be baby
I'll let you say goodbye cos you can't handle me

We've been together now
It's been for quite a while
Yet you never told me how
You had a ride so wild
For once in our lifetime I thought
Once in our lifetime
We'd go where we know there is nobody else but us

It'll be three thousand days
Still I'll miss you in many ways
Though I'll find somebody else
But I'll need nobody else
For once in my lifetime
For once in my lifetime
I'll go where I know there is nobody else but you
