One Life Lyrics
All I wanna be, is with you
In your arms, in our room
Living small, in a big house
I've been having dreams
Have you had them too?
I see me and you
By the door
Rushing in from the rain
At the back of the garden
Do you see that too?
Forever ain't forever if we're not together
I don't wanna put a load of pressure on you
I just wanna tell you, I just wanna tell you
Without you I don't know what I'd do
I've only got one life
And I want you in it
Oh, oh
Tell me that you'll never let me go
Or bury my body
Or send it down the river
Oh, oh
I could never do it on my own
Sometimes I get sad
At the front, at the back
In the middle of the happiest moments
'Cause good things can go bad
Easily
So I don't wanna slow down
Wanna jump, wanna fly, wanna fall
I wanna hit the ground running
Do you wanna marry me?
I've only got one life
And I want you in it
Oh, oh
Tell me that you'll never let me go (Never let me go)
Or bury my body
Or send it down the river
Oh, oh
I could never do it on my own (Do it on my own)
No, a life ain't a life, ain't a life, ain't a life
Without you
No, a life ain't a life, ain't a life, ain't a life
Alone
Forever ain't forever if we're not together
I don't wanna put a load of pressure on you
I just wanna tell you, I just wanna tell you
Without you I don't know what I'd do
We only get one try
I don't wanna miss it
Oh, oh
Tell me that you'll never let me go
I've only got one life (I've only got one life)
And I want you in it
Oh, oh (I don't wanna miss it)
Tell me that you'll never let me go (I don't wanna do it without you, no)
Or bury my body
Or send it down the river (Or send it down the river)
Oh, oh
I could never do it on my own ('Cause I could never do this on my own)
No, a life ain't a life, ain't a life, ain't a life
Without you
No, a life ain't a life, ain't a life, ain't a life (Oh, ain't a life without you)
Alone
Woah, a life ain't a life, ain't a life, ain't a life
Without you
Oh, oh
I could never do this on my own

James Bay shared the following about this song released on May 13th, 2022, "'One Life' is a song I wrote about the most precious and private part of my life, my relationship with Lucy. I didn't know if I'd be able to sum it all up in one song, I'm still not sure I ever will, but this one feels like it got close. It's about the realisation that for all the something's I chase after, it's actually just a someone that I really need. Lucy has been next to me every step of the way, I feel extremely lucky that I get to say that."
James Bay previewed this song with an acoustic video of himself playing a snippet in February of 2022. He later explained in the description of the video, "OK. This back drop, these new song clips, I'm loving showing you... So this is a thing now. Wrote this one last year and I even got to play it a couple times this summer. It's called 'One Life'."
