Lyrics
Once
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.
We worry about work, worry about money
Worry if the punch line’s funny
We worry if the sky is gonna fall
We worry about winning, worry about losing
Worry about the roads we’re choosing
We worry if that someone’s gonna call
We spend so much precious time tryna figure out
What this crazy maze of a beautiful world is all about
So kick on back, fill your cup
Put on your favourite song, turn it up
Find a little peace of mind in the sunshine
Don’t waste your days looking at the clock
Say I love you to the ones you got
Don’t leave a lifetime of rights
On the wrong side
‘Cos you only live once, once, once
You only live once, once, once
We worry about truths, we worry about lying
We worry about how much we’re trying and
When it’s all gonna come to an end
We spend so much precious time tryna figure out
What this crazy maze of a beautiful world is all about
So kick on back, fill your cup
Put on your favourite song, turn it up
Find a little peace of mind in the sunshine
Don't waste your days looking at the clock
Say I love you to the ones you got
Don’t leave a lifetime of rights
On the wrong side
‘Cos you only live once, once, once
You only live once, once, once
Once, once, once
So kick on back, fill your cup
Put on your favourite song, turn it up
Find a little peace of mind in the sunshine yeah
Don’t waste your days looking at the clock
Say I love you to the ones you got
Don’t leave a lifetime of rights
On the wrong side yeah
‘Cos you only live once, once, once
You only live once, once, once
Yeah you only live once, once, once
You only live once, once, once
