Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I had a dream the other night

About how we only get one life

It woke me up right after two

I stayed awake and stared at you

So I wouldn't lose my mind

[Verse 2]

And I had the week that came from Hell

And yes, I know that you could tell

But you're like the net under the ledge

When I go flying off the edge

You go flying off as well

[Verse 3]

And if you only die once

I wanna die with

[Verse 4]

You got something I need

In this world full of people

There's one killing me

And if we only die once (Hey)

I wanna die with you (You, you, you)

[Verse 5]

You got something I need

In this world full of people

There's one killing me

And if we only die once (Hey)

I wanna die with you (You, you)

[Verse 6]

Last night I think I drank too much

Yeah, call it a temporary crutch

With broken words I tried to say

Honey, don't you be afraid

If we got nothing, we got us

[Verse 7]

Yeah, yeah

[Verse 8]

And if you only die once

I wanna die with

[Verse 9]

You got something I need

In this world full of people

There's one killing me

And if we only die once (Hey)

I wanna die with you (You, you, you)

[Verse 10]

You got something I need

In this world full of people

There's one killing me

And if we only die once (Hey)

I wanna die with you (You, you, you)

[Verse 11]

I know that we're not the same

But I'm so damn glad that we made it

To this time, this time

Now, yeah

[Verse 12]

You got something I need

Yeah, in this world full of people

There's one killing me

And if we only die once

I wanna die with you, hey

[Verse 13]

You got something I need

In this world full of people

There's one killing me

And if we only die once (Hey)

I wanna die with you (You, you, you)

[Verse 14]

You got something I need

In this world full of people

There's one killing me

And if we only die once (Hey)

I wanna die with you (You, you, you)

[Verse 15]

If we only die once

I wanna die with

[Verse 16]

If we only live once

I wanna live with you
