Only for a Moment - Lola Marsh

Dressed up, you got your hair done up For the first time in a couple weeks You choked up from a real gut punch You got some colour back in your cheeks You keep a picture on the wall of your family You keep a journal to reflect You keep a picture on the wall of your family Your secrets close to your chest If only for a moment tonight You're not looking over your shoulder If only for a moment tonight I dipped you low and we both fell over At karaoke we would trade in each verse You wore my jacket and I carried your purse For a moment tonight Only for a moment, yeah we can feel alright (We could we could we could feel alright) (We could we could we could feel alright) I freeze, my heart skips a beat Every time I hear the phone ringing You pick up and speak soft in the next room I hold my breath and try to listen in The doctor said this might run in the family So we'll be keeping an eye The doctor said this might run in the family So stand by, we're standing by If only for a moment tonight You're not looking over your shoulder If only for a moment tonight I dipped you low and we both fell over At karaoke we would trade in each verse You wore my jacket and I carried your purse For a moment tonight Only for a moment, yeah we can feel alright (We could we could we could feel alright) (We could we could we could feel alright) (We could we could we could feel alright) (We could we could we could feel alright) She fell asleep beside me In the back seat of a cab I leaned in to kiss her forehead, she reached out to grab my hand We got back to our apartment, set the alarm for 7 AM 'Cause we're driving back to our Hometown where the walls are caving in If only for a moment tonight You're not looking over your shoulder If only for a moment tonight I dipped you low and we both fell over At karaoke we would trade in each verse You wore my jacket and I carried your purse For a moment tonight If only for a moment, yeah we can feel alright (We could we could we could feel alright) (We could we could we could feel alright) (We could we could we could feel alright) (We could we could we could feel alright)

You try to live up to what others believe 'Til you conquer all your fears and just find what you need In the time that it takes to settle for less You could have done with what you thought would be best You set your ideals with the truth that you see Nothing turns out quite the same as you thought it would be Counting the times that you've said what you mean All the reasons to forget what you want to believe And you know what I'm thinking now If only for the moment And you know what I'm thinking now If only for the moment All that you think has meaning for you Excuses are many when you seek what is true You live in your thoughts and believe you are right 'Til what you foresee is brought into sight You set your ideals with the truth that you see Nothing turns out quite the same as you thought it would be Counting the times that you've said what you mean All the reasons to forget what you want to believe All the reasons to forget what you want to believe All the reasons to forget what you want to believe All the reasons to forget what you want to believe All the reasons to forget what you want to believe

You can lose track from the moment You can find more than you seek You can go back for a moment You can let it all run free When there's no time to be different And no lie to repeat You can run back, if you listen You can lose track from the beat This is all that you got This is all that you got When I got back with an omen You'd given up on me And you stopped time for a moment To be everything you dream Don't start, babe I got you You're the only sound I see When I run back to forget you I run back to the beat You can go back Don't let anything go awry Yeah, well it hurts like Hurts like you got something in mind Ooh, you can run back You can get it right, you can turn back time Yeah, this is all that All that you can say with your eyes This is all that you got This is all that you got

It only takes a moment For your eyes to meet, and then Your heart knows In a moment You will never be alone again I held her, for an instant But my arms felt sure, and strong It only, takes a moment To be loved A whole life, long Isn't the world full of wonderful things? I have lost so many things, my job, my future Everything that people think is important, but I don't care! 'Cause even if I have to dig ditches for the rest of my life I should be a ditch digger who once had a wonderful day! (Hey mister do you mind, I came in late, right after) It only, (takes a moment) But his arms, felt sure and strong It only, takes a moment He held me, for an instant But his arms felt sure, and strong It only takes a moment To be loved A whole life long And that is all, that love's about And we'll recall, when time runs out That it only Took a moment To be loved A whole life long

Dorn this throat I've fallen deep before I had the chance to swing it Well I guess my road has turned to dusty border Tortuous streams had swept me down and back I'm sinking in my fines dress Tell me man am I lost For I'd rather speak the voice of someone else Can I be free as a bluebird In the open sky I'll fly high To be free from my fears is the only wish I have Free as a bluebird in the open sky I'll fly high To be free is the only wish that I have Dorn this throat I've fallen deep before I had the chance to swing it Well I guess my road has turned to dusty border Can I be free as a bluebird In the open sky I'll fly high To be free from my fears is the only wish I have Free as a bluebird in the open sky I'll fly high To be free is the only wish that I have Can I be free as a bluebird In the open sky I'll fly high To be free from my fears is the only wish I have
