Lyrics It Only Has To Happen Once - Ambitious Lovers

It Only Has To Happen Once

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
