Just Once Lyrics - Singles - Juliets Wishing Well

there's a man 

lives right outside my door 

lives on the hardwood floor 

where he was born 

he was brought here 

against his will 

but he lives there still 

to this day 

and i never knew 

he was out there 

and now i can't look away 

he stands out in the rain 

tries to fake a smile 

says i'd like to touch 

the sky 

just once 

i know a girl 

she likes to dance 

and her feet by chance 

do the same 

she talks to me 

in a parking lot 

seems a good spot 

to make a friend 

she walks away 

and my eyes burn 

as i watch her turn 

for one day 

she stands out in the rain 

she tries to fake a smile 

says i'd like to touch the sky 

then they met one day 

on a mountain peak 

playing hide and seek in the dark 

he opened up his eyes 

which were always shut 

and she helped him up 

as far as he could go 

but his roots they were dry 

so he tried and tried 

and tried and tried and tried 

he stands out in the rain 

and he tries to fake a smile 

cause he couldn't touch the sky
