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
