Otis Redding Lyrics

Cover art for Otis Redding lyrics by Everclear

I think it's one of the best, most underrated and more personal songs that Art has written. Obviously he had some addiction problems in the past and he is remembering the days before the addiction problems when he was broke, but emotionally happy. Then he became rich, addicted to drugs and emotionally bankrupt, and this song is basically about when he hit rock bottom and realized that it was ruining his life and wanted to quit and go back to being happy with his true self.

Wishing he has "one more life" is basically about him wanting to give up the drugs and start over clean.

Great song.
