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


Too many people walk around with hearts hiding

Terrified of hurting, 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


All your troubles, all your pain

Let me struggle, carry that weight

All your devils fall away

You're so easy to love


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


Every time I look at you, I'm reminded

That nothing lasts forever, nothing stays timeless

Someday there'll be a kiss and there'll be goodbyes

We're not exempt


Oh, I could lay beside you thousand lifetimes

Live a thousand more and still pray for sunrise

Everything before you was a warning of what it meant

Whoa-oh


All your troubles, all your pain

Let me struggle, carry that weight

All your devils fall away

You're so easy to love


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


One life is never long enough

One life is never long enough

One life is never long enough for us


I don't want it to be over

I don't wanna say goodnight

But that morning in December

For the rest of my life


I don't want it to be over

I don't wanna say goodnight

That morning in December

For the rest of my life


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


One life is never long enough

One life is never long enough

One life is never long enough for us

One life is never long enough for us


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.
