One Life Isn't Enough

I was stuck in a rut, I was doing my nut,
I was thinking I'm gonna die.
I hadn't a clue, I was sleepwalking through
A life that was passing me by.
Then you crashed the scene in Take 5 of that dream
You showed me a new way to be.
I put on the disguise, I looked around through your eyes
I changed my identity
And you told me . . .

It's not true you only ever live once.
You only ever die once, can't you see?
You can live many times if you know how
And re-invent yourself right here, right now.

So I made a plan to say 'yes I can'
'Cos one life isn't enough.
I packed it all in and I led with my chin.
Now I don't sweat the small stuff.
Now the dishes are dirty.
I'm awake till 4:30.
I'm in debt way over my head.
But I'll take this reversal, life's not a rehearsal
I'll sleep a long time when I'm dead.

'Cos it's not true you only ever live once.
You only ever die once, can't you see?
You can live many times if you know how
And re-invent yourself right here, right now.
Who says you've got to stay the same forever
Or keep the faith when there's no faith to keep?
You can change what's in your heart
And you can change your mind
And you can take whatever road you find.

Yes, you can take whatever road.
Just you walk down any road.
You can take whatever road you find.
