Tired of thinking all night on the couch
Staring at the drizzle fogging up my window
How do you not realize
The way that I need you?
And I'm pretending that everything's fine
In this sh*tty phase
Why do I keep missing your body
Knowing that you won't come back?
I need your hugs
Your kisses, your scent
I'm addicted to your skin
If I close my eyes I see you again
Eleven eleven, I always want you
Why do I keep missing your body
Knowing that you won't come back?
This isn't working for me anymore
She doesn't want to leave my mind
My nerves always betray me
I hate when they talk to me about you
It's like a storm
It won't stop raining
The days stay dark
Why aren't you here
I thought that you were my future
And I stayed in the past waiting for you
It won't stop raining
The days stay dark
Why aren't you here
Tell me how I stop feeling like this?
How do you not realize
The way that I need you?
And I'm pretending that everything's fine
In this sh*tty phase
Why do I keep missing your body
Knowing that you won't come back?
I need your hugs
Your kisses, your scent
I'm addicted to your skin
If I close my eyes I see you again
Eleven eleven, I always want you
Why do I keep missing your body
Knowing that you won't come back?
Why do I keep missing your body
Knowing that you won't come back?
I need your hugs
Your kisses, your scent
I'm addicted to your skin
If I close my eyes I see you again
Eleven eleven, I always want you
Why do I keep missing your body
Knowing that you won't come back?

SONG MEANING

Grab your headphones and picture this scene: it is late at night, rain taps against the window, and Jay Wheeler is sunk into a sofa replaying memories like a movie he cannot pause. Once:Once is a heartbreak anthem where the Puerto Rican singer confesses that every drop of rain, every 11:11 wish on the clock, pulls him back to a love that is long gone but stubbornly alive in his mind. He tries to act “todo está bien,” yet the lyrics reveal an almost addictive longing for her hugs, her scent, her very presence.

Behind the smooth urban-pop melody, Wheeler paints loneliness as a never-ending storm. “¿Por qué sigo extrañando tu cuerpo sabiendo que no vas a volver?” is the painful question he asks on repeat, capturing that universal moment when logic says move on but the heart keeps holding on. Once y once becomes his ritual of hope, a small wish that maybe, just maybe, she will appear again. The song turns private vulnerability into shared emotion, making every listener remember the night they also stared at the rain and wished for someone who would not return.
