You Only Live Once

Verse 1
Watched the sunrise from my window, coffee getting cold
Got a million different worries, feel I'm growing old
I keep making all these queer plans inside my head
But the pages of my future are still blank and spread

I'm always "gonna be" and never "here I am"
A silent, ticking bomb, a fading diagram.
But the clock is screaming, and a voice inside my head
Spinning all the what-ifs and the things I've never said...

Chorus
You only live once!
Gonna feel the sun once!
No more thinking twice, I'm diving in headfirst!
You only live once!
This is my only chance!
Gonna break all these chains and make my heart dance!
You only live once!
You only live once!

Verse 2
The dream that I have painted on a dusty, hidden shelf
I'm making it come true right now, I'm gonna be myself
So no more "maybe next year," and no more "someday soon"
I'm humming now a fearless and brand new crazy tune

The map is in my hands, the road is mine to choose
My favorite shoes on, there's nothing left to lose.
And the world is calling out my name, it's getting loud
No more hiding in the shadows, blending with the crowd!

Chorus
You only live once!
Gonna feel the sun once!
No more thinking twice, I'm diving in headfirst!
You only live once!
This is my only chance!
Gonna break these chains and make my heart dance!
You only live once!
You only live once!

Bridge
I feel the rhythm in my veins, a fire catching spark
Lights up the corners of my soul, no longer in the dark
This breath that I am breathing, this beat my heart beats for
Won't be ignored anymore!

Chorus
You only live once!
Gonna feel the sun once!
No more thinking twice, I'm diving in headfirst!
You only live once!
This is my only chance!
Gonna break these chains and make my heart dance!
You only live once!
You only live once!

You only live once!
Gonna feel the sun once!
No more thinking twice, I'm diving in headfirst!
You only live once!
This is my only chance!
Gonna break these chains and make my heart dance!
You only live once!
You only live once!
Here and now!
You only live once!
Here and now!
You only live...
Here and now!
You only live once!
Here and now!
You only live once!
