1) As a young boy, the singer didn't know what to do with all the choices in life and regrets not following his heart. 2) His father advised him to start making plans, but the singer wanted to wait. 3) Now the singer realizes he only has one life and wants to live it by following his heart and doing what feels right without regrets.

1. One life
James Morrison
When I was a young boy I was living for the moment The world was wide open I had every choice But so many choices I just didn't know what to do now All I say is just forget it If you tell me I'll regret it Let it be what it is 'Cause it's so easy to say If I knew yesterday what I know today Where will I be tomorrow Won't let my soul slide away I'd do whatever it takes 'Cause this time's only borrowed I got one life, one life, one life And I'm gonna live it I got one life, one life, one life And I'm gonna live it right My daddy sat me down He said, "Son, it's probably time To start making some plans" I said "No, not right now" So many choices I just didn't know what to do now All I say is just forget it Well, you tell me I'll regret it Let it be what it is 'Cause it's so easy to say If I knew yesterday what I know today Where would I be tomorrow

2. Won't let my soul slide away And do whatever it takes 'Cause this time's only borrowed I got one life, one life, one life And I'm gonna live it I got one life, one life, one life And I'm gonna live it right You say the more you think you know what's right The less you do what you feel inside So I won't pretend that I always know I just follow my heart wherever it goes And I may not always get it right At least I'm living 'Cause I've only got this one life, one life I've got this one life If I knew yesterday what I know today Where will I be tomorrow I won't let my soul slide away I'd do whatever it takes 'Cause this time's only borrowed I got one life, one life, one life And I'm gonna live it I got one life, one life, one life And I'm gonna live it right One life, one life, one life I just got only one life, one life When I'm an old man Hope I'll be rocking in my chair Smiling to myself I'll tell my baby girl, you only got one life So make sure you live it right
