Once and for All (Under the Floorboards) Lyrics

One day I woke up to find
There was a hole in my mind
I could not be certain or sure
Of anything I knew beforeGet up get out stand up and shout your name
Dont be afraid to get in the way again
Dont try to stop like it or not you'll change
You know you only can go further awayWhen did we forget what we knew
When did we grow up and when did we lose
Everything we were so sure of back then
How do we know it wont happen againSomewhere an urgency fell from my side
Some time a border between us arrived
That says we are separate and newly defined
It tells us to take it seriously this time
Cos there is no once and for allGet up get out stand up and shout your name
Dont be afraid to get in the way again
Dont try to stop like it or not youll change
You know you only can go further awayWhen did we forget what we knew
When did we grow up and when did we lose

Everything we were so sure about then
How do we know it wont happen againNow I am sure of my place in the world
I raise up my flag and I watch it unfurl
I know what I want and, I think, what is true
And now I am certain of my love for youBut there is no once and for all
