LIVE ONCE Lyrics by John the Ghost

I ONLY WANT TO LIVE ONCE

2020

[Verse 1]
The bags under my eyes are packed but I'm not goin' back
To feeling sorry for myself now that I have you and
Everything that I ever wanted, well it's mine now
Yeah, we all try and then we die so look alive now
[Chorus]
Don't wanna fade away, don't wanna turn to rust
I wanna burn out like a firework on angel dust
I wanna live today honestly just because
I don't wanna die, I only wanna live once
(I only wanna live once)
[Verse 2]
How much do you think life would mean without its lover, death?
Do you see differences between this one and other breaths?
Everything that I ever wanted, well it's mine now
We all can try but won't survive so look alive now
[Chorus]
Don't wanna fade away, don't wanna turn to rust
I wanna burn out like a firework on angel dust
I wanna live today honestly just because
I don't wanna die, I only wanna live once
I don't wanna die, I only wanna live once
[Bridge]
Yeah, we all try and then we die so look alive now
[Chorus]
Don't wanna fade away (Don't wanna fade away)
Don't wanna turn to rust (Turn to rust)
I wanna burn out like a firework on angel dust
I wanna live today (Live today) honestly just because
I don't wanna die, I only wanna live once
(I only wanna live once)
[Chorus]
Don't wanna fade away (Don't wanna fade away)
Don't wanna turn to rust (Turn to rust)
I wanna burn out like a firework on angel dust
I wanna live today (Live today)
Honestly just because (Just because)
I don't wanna die, I only wanna live once
