Oh,one life
Oh one life
Oh one life

One chance, two lips free fallin' we're about to lose our grip now
Five minutes too late, can't be messing with fate it's time to get loud
'Cause we've been up when we should have been sleeping
We've been down when we could have been high
We'll come alive, tonight

Oh it's a great big world and you'll see
It could pass you by at light speed
You've got one life, one life
Don't stop live it up, no
If it's the last night in these streets
You'd be a fool to take a seat
You've got one life, one life
Don't stop live it up
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Don't stop, don't stop live it up
Don't stop, don't stop live it up

The last thing you wanna make's your first mistake but it's too late now
So get up, get ready not everybody's betting against you anyhow
'Cause we've been up when we should have been sleeping
We've been down when we could have been high
We'll come alive, tonight

Oh it's a great big world and you'll see
It could pass you by at light speed
You've got one life, one life
Don't stop live it up, no
If it's the last night in these streets
You'd be a fool to take a seat
You've got one life, one life
Don't stop live it up
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Don't stop, don't stop live it up

If you stop and think
You might start to sink
You can't get it if you don't keep givin'
Can't get it if you don't keep givin'

Oh it's a great big world and you'll see
It could pass you by at light speed
You've got one life, one life
Don't stop live it up, no
If it's the last night in these streets
You'd be a fool to take a seat
You've got one life, one life
Don't stop live it up
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Oh, one life
Don't stop, don't stop live it up
Don't stop, don't stop live it up
Don't stop, don't stop live it up

Gentle Hour
Yo La Tengo
This song was originally written by a guy called Peter Gutteridge. He was one of the founders of the "Dunedin Sound" a musical scene in the south of New Zealand in the early 80s. From there it was covered by "The Clean" one of the early bands of that scene (he had originally been a member of in it's early days, writing a couple of their best early songs). The Dunedin sound, and the Clean became popular on american college radio in the mid to late 80s. I guess Yo La Tengo heard that version. Great version of a great song,

Magical

How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
