Y Lyrics by John the Ghost

I ONLY WANT TO LIVE ONCE

2021

[Verse 1]
Why do you spend all your time
On momentary highs?
Something's missin' in your eyes
Why, why do I even try
To get inside your mind?
Now you're runnin' from your life
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything you thought that mattered, it don't matter at all
Every single thing you wanted you don't want anymore
The only thing you really needed is somebody to call
So tell me
[Chorus]
Why do you spend all your time
With money on your mind
And Xs in your eyes?
Why do you spend all your time
On superficial vibes?
Somethin' missin' in your eyes
[Verse 2]
Why do you think paradise
Is under neon lights?
(Lookin' for a diamond, I don't know)
(Lookin' for a diamond, I don't know)
Why, why can't you realize
You're runnin' from your life?
(Lookin' for a diamond, I don't know)
(Runnin' from your life and you don't know why)
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything you thought that mattered, it don't matter at all
Every single thing you wanted you don't want anymore
The only thing you really needed is somebody to call
So tell me
[Chorus]
Why do you spend all your time
With money on your mind
And Xs in your eyes?
Why do you spend all your time
On superficial vibes?
Somethin' missin' in your eyes
[Bridge]
(Dreams of diamond everything)
(The colors start to bleed now)
(And all you see is green)
(Everything you thought that mattered, it don't matter at all)
(Every single thing you wanted you don't want anymore)
(The only thing you really needed is somebody to call)
So tell me
[Chorus]
Why do you spend all your time
With money on your mind
And Xs in your eyes?
Why do you spend all your time
On superficial vibes?
Somethin' missin' in your eyes
