One Life

One life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life to live

VS 1
They said you were good at this
So why the fuck ain’t noone buyin?
Your mother musta been lyin
Fillin your head up with them dreams that you could rule the world
Guess she was an optimist
Mmhmm and now you got the hunger
She didn’t mean to raise a narcissist
She actually believed that you could rule the world

PC 1
Went off to New York City with stars in your eyes
Thinkin that everything was coming your way
But all the other kids were doing the same
They got the memo they could be anything
Findin a way to get by, you did whatever you could
Sayin that it was all a means to an end
Yeah but ya never know when it will end
And you only got one life to live whooah

CH
Oooooh
You only got one life to live
What’s it take to raise the bets?
naaaooooohhhhhhhhh
You only got one life to live
What’s it take to raise the dead?

Post Chorus
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life to live

VS 2
I wish I could be oxygen
So I could make myself useful
I’d take my liberty and value
Shake it out all over the world just so they’d know my worth
But it don’t really matter what I have to say, it’s just a day
And then I gotta move on with it
Don’t wanna live on the dock of the bay
While it all rolls away, over and over again

PC 1
Went off to New York City with stars in your eyes
Thinkin that everything was goin your way
Didn’t realize that it was a game
Everybody wants the same thing
Findin a way to get by, you did whatever you could
Sayin that it was all a means to an end
Took it further than you like to admit
And you only got one life to live whooah

CH
Oooooh
You only got one life to live
What’s it take to raise the bets?
naaaooooohhhhhhhhh
You only got one life to live
What’s it take to raise the dead?

Post Chorus 2xs
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life to live

Choir breakdown

Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh
Ooooohhhhhhhhhhhhh


Post Chorus 2xs
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life to live

Re-intro (2xs)
One life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life, one life
We only got one life to live

Caleb Hawley New York, New York

New York-based, singer, songwriter, and producer, Caleb Hawley independently released Love, Drugs, & Decisions in 2017 followed by Sex Tape in 2018. Raw lyrics and somber themes are sweetened by pop beats, androgynous vocals, and sensuality inspired by the Minneapolis sound of the 80s and dance rock. His lyrics are introspective and observational, peering at the glamorous facades in society. ... more
