We build our paper houses, and these paper jobs are cheap
But they give us that green paper, that we tend to hoard and keep
The sweat rolls down our temples, balancing a house of cards
But it lights on fire when the candle hits the floor

We should spend our time how we want, cuz it’s the only thing we’ve got
We should live our lives in the now, and not give it a second thought
You've only got this one life, You can never live it again
So go and spend your time how you want, before we reach the end

They’ll tell you you are wrong, for walking down your own path
And they'll try to make you follow, an ideal that never lasts
But who knows better than you, what you need for you to feel complete
These people don’t know how to see the truth

We should spend our time how we want, cuz it’s the only thing we’ve got
We should live our lives in the now, and not give it a second thought
You've only got this one life, You can never live it again
So go and spend your time how you want, before we reach the end

You only live once, that’s the way I see it
So grab your life by the horns, and take your seat in the cockpit
Enjoy every moment, try and live with no regrets
Cuz you’re the only one you’ve gotta prove yourself to

And I want to be content
And I want to live in the moment
And I think that we're all different
And it’s okay to live the life of which you’ve dreamt

We should spend our time how we want, cuz it’s the only thing we’ve got
We should live our lives in the now, and not give it a second thought
You've only got this one life, You can never live it again
So go and spend your time how you want, before we reach the end
