One Life - James Morrison

When I was a young boy

I was living for the moment

The world was wide open

I had every choice

But with so many choices

I just didn’t know what to do now

All I say is forget it

If you tell me I’ll regret it

Just let it be what it is

Coz it’s so easy to say

If I knew yesterday what I know today

Where would I be tomorrow

I won’t let my soul slide away, I’d do whatever it takes

Coz this time’s only borrowed

I got one life, one life, one life and I’m gonna live it

I got one life, one life, one life and I’m gonna live it right

My daddy sat me down, he said

«Son it’s probably time to start making some plans»

And I said, «No, not right now»

With so many choices

I just didn’t know what to do now

All I’d say is forget it when he’d tell me I’d regret it

Just let it be what it is, coz it’s so easy to say

If I knew yesterday what I know today

Where would I be tomorrow

I won’t let my soul slide away, I’d do whatever it takes

Coz this time’s only borrowed

I got one life, one life, one life and I’m gonna live it

I got one life, one life, one life and I’m gonna live it right

Bridge:

You say the more you think you know what’s right

The less you do what you feel inside

So I won’t pretend that I always know

I just follow my heart wherever it goes

And I may not always get it right

But at least I’m living coz I’ve only got this

One life, one life, one life, I’ve got this one life

If I knew yesterday what I know today

Where would I be tomorrow

I won’t let my soul slide away, I’d do whatever it takes

Coz this time’s only borrowed

I got one life, one life, one life and I’m gonna live it

I got one life, one life, one life and I’m gonna live it right

Outro:

When I’m an old man, hope I’ll be rocking in my chair

Smiling to myself

I’ll tell my baby girl

«You only get one life, so make sure you live it right»
