Once More With Feeling

I'm well acquainted with The Bay
I’m so excited when I cross the bridge at night
It’s so inspiring, a siren that sings me into life
Still not accustomed to the bite
Of the cloudy winds that blow right up my spine
It’s still a joy to enjoy for a boy from the inland pines
But now I’ve got to fly away for good
To kiss goodbye my neighborhood
Once more with feeling
Got one more night to do it right
It’s not a fight
But tonight
Kissing canvas is our right
There is an opportunity
That could be wonderful, it all depends on me
But if I sacrifice my whole life here it’s sad indeed
We will be underneath the stars
But we will live our separate lives in separate bars
We cannot suture a future together despite the scars
But I don't leave until the night is gone
It's not yet time for moving on
Once more with feeling
Got one more night to do it right
It’s not a fight
But tonight
We can lie beneath starlight
You should try again - efforting endlessly up to today
Do it calm and clearly - is it best to invest in what will fly away?
When you make amends - Eminem put it as good as can be
Sell them more sincerely - just got one shot and it’s got to be me
Once more with feeling
Got one more night to get it right
It’s not a fight
But tonight
There’s a last chapter to write
