One Life Lyrics
[Intro]
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Sky's on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
At last call, turn out the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
[Verse 1]
Too many people walk around with hearts hidin'
Terrified of hurtin', so they stay silent
Don't know what it's worth just to let a light in
Through the shade
If love had come to me, I wouldn't recognise it
Now every time you smile, it's a little priceless
No story I could weave would have ended like this
No way
[Pre-Chorus]
All your troubles, all your pain
Let me struggle, carry that weight
All your devils fall away
You're so easy to love
[Chorus]
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Sky's on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
At last call, turn out the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Sky's on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
At last call, turn out the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
[Verse 1]
Too many people walk around with hearts hidin'
Terrified of hurtin', so they stay silent
Don't know what it's worth just to let a light in
Through the shade
If love had come to me, I wouldn't recognise it
Now every time you smile, it's a little priceless
No story I could weave would have ended like this
No way
[Pre-Chorus]
All your troubles, all your pain
Let me struggle, carry that weight
All your devils fall away
You're so easy to love
[Chorus]
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Sky's on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
At last call, turn out the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
[Verse 2]
Every time I look at you, I'm reminded
That nothing lasts forever, nothing stays timeless
Someday there'd be a kiss, and there'd be goodbyes
We're not exempt
Oh, I could lay beside you a thousand lifetimes
Live a thousand more and still pray for sunrise
Everything before you was a warning of what it meant
Woah
[Pre-Chorus]
All your troubles, all your pain
Let me struggle, carry that weight
All your devils fall away
You're so easy to love
[Chorus]
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Sky's on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
At last call, turn out the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh) For us
Every time I look at you, I'm reminded
That nothing lasts forever, nothing stays timeless
Someday there'd be a kiss, and there'd be goodbyes
We're not exempt
Oh, I could lay beside you a thousand lifetimes
Live a thousand more and still pray for sunrise
Everything before you was a warning of what it meant
Woah
[Pre-Chorus]
All your troubles, all your pain
Let me struggle, carry that weight
All your devils fall away
You're so easy to love
[Chorus]
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Sky's on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
At last call, turn out the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh) For us
[Bridge]
I don't want it to be over
I don't wanna say goodnight
Want that morning in December
For the rest of my life (Doh-oh)
I don't want it to be over
I don't wanna say goodnight (Doh-oh)
Want that morning in December
For the rest of my life
[Chorus]
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Sky's on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
At last call, turn out the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh) For us
I don't want it to be over
I don't wanna say goodnight
Want that morning in December
For the rest of my life (Doh-oh)
I don't want it to be over
I don't wanna say goodnight (Doh-oh)
Want that morning in December
For the rest of my life
[Chorus]
I've seen stars reborn in your eyes
Sky's on fire tonight
One life is never long enough
One life is never long enough
At last call, turn out the lights
I hope I treated you right
One life is never long enough for us
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, hoo-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh) One life is never long enough
(Ooh-ooh) For us
[Outro]
One life is never long enough for us
One life is never long enough for us

What did Dermot Kennedy say about "One Life"?
Genius Answer
If you look through my listening history, it’s 90% hip-hop. As this album came together, I was like, ‘I feel like I’m not touching on that much.’ But also, you can’t force that, because you can’t pretend to be a rapper if you’re not one. And so with this song, I was really pleased, it felt like that hip-hop side found its way into the music. I could then get involved with the verses in that same way while still being a singer-songwriter. I’m very happy that this one showed up.
