I dont speak often cause I dont speak well
so every song I write has a story to tell
of all Ive learned living with myself
so these are my pearls of wisdom in a nutshell
oh you only live once so youd better think twice
this day will go before you know so dont waste your time
and when youre standing on a cloud or when youve fallen on the ground
youve gotta have something, something to sing about
I dont know much, that much is true
the queries are endless, my answers are few
but life has caused me to conclude
I can face what I dont know
by singing about what I do
Oh you only live once so youd better think twice
this day will go before you know so dont waste your time
and when youre lost inside yourself and you cant find your way out
youve gotta find something, something to sing about
the world has a way of wearing you down
and times not afraid to take its toll, oh no
but you can sing through anything as long as you know
what awaits you at the end of the road
because you only live once
yeah, you only live once so youd better think twice
this day will go before you know so dont waste your time
at the end of the day, when you lay your head down
youve gotta have something, something to sing about
