James Morrison - One Life Lyrics






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 just 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 say is just 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

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

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 got one life
So make sure you live it right

    G.... ....

    SaphRetuks ING Well, I might me wrong but if you don't get it's because you never come to a point when you want to end it... When you can't hold anymore the situations that haunt you. well, we only have one life, and we got to live it well, keeping our head straight up... even in the most difficult times, we got to keep moving. It doesn't count the times you are knocked down, it's the times you get back up. :) Be happy always ! you, and everyone, including me :) Have a nice day! ;)

    G.... ....

    The KrOOb Thanks for explaining, have a nice day to you too. I'm guessing that's a phase? I've been through it a couple times. :)

    G.... ....

    The KrOOb so true this song reminds me of my grandfather who died of cancer and he fought for his life and I don't feel the same without him💔

    G.... ....

    Because we have one life that's yours and mine <3
