[Intro]
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control

[Verse]
The records that you want to play are broken
All the things you’re seeing are only real when your time is frozen
And every time you wait for someone else
You lose time when you could’ve done it all by yourself
I speak truths, and I don’t mean to be rude
But all that stuff happened it always comes back to you so
I’m standing on a mountainside late at night
Screaming ‘F You’ to the people who never wanted to ride
I guess time is linear or something like that
I never paid attention in class, and there's no take-backs
In life, you gotta make decisions way before the outcome
So if you mess up now, you worse off later, you’re welcome
For all the stuff I did, I’m frozen up like finger tips
Touching broken glass from a plane crash
I wish I could have dreams but nightmares still want payback
For something I did years ago, but I ain’t like that
Anymore, I’ve changed
For the better, what you say?
We’re acting like we’re gods but we’re living life as slaves
To the big man, who keeps creeping round upstairs
Peeking round the fucking corner, till he has the heart to say
Something, I know he doesn’t care
They see it but they act like they unaware
She don’t know, what’s best for
The others, I rest my case, when I fall for the lover
I swear
[Chorus]
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control
It’s the only life I know
When we all lose control

[Interlude]
Let me, tell you a story bout the person that I wanted to be
Like an astronaut or someone who would sail the seas
And see the whole wide world, all the birds and the bees
You try to bring me down but imma try to stay on my feet
Please

[Verse]
Have you heard of all these incidents?
Of students who are city kids, dreaming of some bigger things
And then they had to hide away from what they want to do
But now I’m here to show you that my first tape was not a fluke
You need to understand
That life can never go as planned
You could die tomorrow or today
Or you could go to Japan
You never know where this shit is gonna take you
And all these fucking people who don’t understand will break you
Or try to
You don’t have to let them win
And if you have a problem, you gotta let them in
Let them listen
Cause therapy isn’t cheap
They just give you adder-all
Hoping that you will sleep
But you won’t-
The demons keep me up at night-
I don't wanna talk about it, Nah
[Interlude]
It's the only life I chose
It's not the life I chose, oh, Woah
Watching all the sunsets fade
Wishing she would stay today
Watching all the sunsets fade
Wishing she would go away
(way, way, way)

[Verse]
Oh, baby
Why won't you stay on my side
(My side)
Oh, baby
When I see the sunset I cry
(When I see the sunset I cry)

[Outro]
(And all this time, you're telling lies)
It's the only life I chose
(You're telling lies)
It's not the life I chose, oh, Woah
