All it takes is a quick constellation
Of daylight, headlights
And precipitation

It only has to happen once
For anybody else’s sweat to taste
Too salty or sweet

It doesn’t take two nations or two signatures
Just two pupils and one fool
It only has to happen once

It only has to happen once
For every caress to read as
Desperate or repressed

Before a baby can tell right from wrong
It already knows the song
It only has to happen once

All it takes is a quick constellation 
Of shadows, lashes
And implication
It only has to happen once
