Only Got One

this song really influenced a major decision that i made. it's beautiful and inspiring. basically: do what make you happy since you only have one life.

I also agree that it is more than just an idea that life should be lived to it's fullest. I think this song is about how she has this certain outlook on life that is a very positive one at that and the one she loves can't seem to see their life in the same way. Its very frustrating when you are in a situation like this one when you have such a great outlook on your life and as much as you may want that person to see life in the same light..they won't.

Okay, these are not the right lyrics. And it's really bothering me. Here:

If this is a question, Is maybe a lie? If yes doesn't mean it, Does when lessen why?

You are held in a queue, Someone will be with you shortly. Say I'm wrong You decide I don't believe the words you sing sometimes

But then it's your life mmm, it's your life But then it's your life mmm, it's your life

But, you've only got one You've only got one But, you've only got one

If I just to spite you Placate your disgrace Will song turn to silence? Will mask wear your face?

Are you down to be open Show me yours and I'll show you mine Or are you down just to be down? I don't believe the words you sing sometimes

And so on..

yup. those sound right to me

think this song is pretty straight forward

enjoy the way you live your life 'cause you've only got on' sounds like she see's the way someone is living their life, and can't understand why they do the things they do.. cause they don't see them being happy.

could be talking to herself as well

beautiful song, very good lyrics

Pretty song. "You've only got one" :)

i think it's saying indecision is okay. as long as you're enjoying the ride and the indecision is your choice.. because it's your life and if you're doing what makes you happy, that's all there is to it.

No idea, but I love this song. So. Much.

"Are you down to be open? Show me yours and I'll show you mine Or are you down just to be down?"

my favorite lines of all! they are so honnost, even though through this whole song shes contiplating weather she should be so forwarded or not, one of my favorites of all!!

I think it goes a little bit deeper than just telling someone to live their life to the fullest. I think she's realizing that someone she is very close to has to make their own choices.

It's just the hesitation in "BUT then, its your life". It's like relucatant acceptance of the fact that, though she cares, they don't live the same life.
