I had a dream the other night
About how we only get one life
Woke me up right after two
I stayed awake and stared at you
So I wouldn’t loose my mind

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
And if you only die once
I wanna die with

You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once,
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

Last night I think I drank too much, yeah
Call it our temporary crunch
With broken words I’ve tried to say it
Honey don’t you be afraid
If we got nothing, we got us,
Ey yeah
And if you only die once
I wanna die with

You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

I know that we’re not the same
But I’m so damn glad that we made it to this time,
this time, around, yeah

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
You yeah

You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)

You got something I need
In this world full of people, there’s one killing me
And if we only die once
I wanna die with you (you, you, you)
If we only die once
I wanna die

If we only live once
I wanna live with you
