| I don’t speak often cause I don’t speak well |
| so every song I write has a story to tell |
| of all I’ve learned living with myself |
| so these are my pearls of wisdom in a nutshell |
| oh you only live once so you’d better think twice |
| this day will go before you know so don’t waste your time |
| and when you’re standing on a cloud or when you’ve fallen on the ground |
| you’ve gotta have something, something to sing about |
| I don’t 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 don’t know |
| by singing about what I do Oh you only live once so you’d better think twice |
| this day will go before you know so don’t waste your time |
| and when you’re lost inside yourself and you can’t find your way out |
| you’ve gotta find something, something to sing about |
| the world has a way of wearing you down |
| and time’s 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 you’d better think twice |
| this day will go before you know so don’t waste your time |
| at the end of the day, when you lay your head down |
| you’ve gotta have something, something to sing about |
