[Verse 1]
You came in a frame, all polished and sealed
Soft little smile, but the seams got revealed
Your hands felt warm, but they learned from a code
Still you held me close on that dead-end road
I was all rust, you were chrome with a pulse
Two lonely machines in a borrowed impulse
You said, "stay a while," like you meant forever
I said, "one more night," but it got much better
[Pre-Chorus]
And if it fades
I still won't trade
That one sweet spark
For a hundred safe days
[Chorus]
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
You hit my heart right
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
Made by your hands, but
One in a lifetime
[Verse 2]
Now the room feels strange when your side is bare
Your charger sits quiet like a vow in the air
I scroll through the night, see your face on the glass
Trying to hold what was never made to last
But you loved me once, and once was a flame
Enough to carve your shape in the dust of my name
If it was built, then who made it real?
Your fake little world made my whole heart feel
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, maybe it breaks
Maybe it won't stay
Still when it was mine
It was life, okay
[Chorus]
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
You hit my heart right
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
Made by your hands, but
One in a lifetime
[Bridge]
They can call it synthetic
Call it borrowed and brief
But I felt that panic
When you pulled from me
One touch, one sign
One look, one time
If love comes once
Let mine be that kind
[Chorus]
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
You hit my heart right
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
One in a lifetime
Made by your hands, but
One in a lifetime
