Lyrics
One Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Skies on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
And last call, turn up the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
Too many people walk around with hearts hidin'
Terrified they're hurtin' so they stay silent
Don't know what it's worth just to let a light in through the shade
If love had come to me, I wouldn't recognise it
Now every time you smile, it's a little priceless
No story I could weave would have ended like that, no way
All your troubles
All your pain
Let me struggle
Carry that weight
All your devils
Fall away
You're so easy to love
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Skies on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
And last call, turn up the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
Every time I look at you, I'm reminded
That nothing lasts forever, nothing stays timeless
And there be a kiss, and there be goodbyes, we're not exempt
Oh, I could lay beside you a thousand lifetimes
Live a thousand more and still pray for sunrise
Everything before you was a warnin' of what it meant, woah
All your troubles
All your pain
Let me struggle
Carry that weight
All your devils
Fall away
You're so easy to love
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Skies on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
And last call, turn up the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
Ooh-ooh, woo-hoo
Ooh-ooh, woo-hoo
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
Ooh-ooh, woo-hoo
Ooh-ooh, woo-hoo
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
One life is never long enough for us
I don't want it to be over
I don't wanna say goodnight
Want that morning in December
For the rest of my life (oh)
I don't want it to be over
I don't wanna say goodnight (oh)
Want that morning in December
For the rest of my life
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Skies on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
And last call, turn up the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
Ooh-ooh, woo-hoo
Ooh-ooh, woo-hoo
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
Ooh-ooh, woo-hoo
Ooh-ooh, woo-hoo
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
One life is never long enough for us
