Lyrics
He never thought he cared so much about the minute hand
Reflecting on the value of time, realizing the importance of each moment.
Until he started praying for a second chance
Praying for an opportunity to rectify past mistakes or missed opportunities.
If he could only do it all again
Expressing a desire to have another chance to live life differently.
He'd trade the long nights that he spent behind his desk
Wishing to exchange work-related long nights for meaningful experiences.
For all he missed
Regret for missing out on important moments in life.
He tells his wife, "I wish that this moment in this room
Expressing a longing to spend quality time with a loved one.
Was not me dying but just spending a little time with you"
Wishing for a moment of connection instead of facing imminent death.
You only get just one time around
Emphasizing the singular opportunity of living life.
You only get one shot at this
Highlighting the uniqueness and irreplaceability of each individual's life.
One chance to find out
Emphasizing the importance of discovering a crucial aspect of life.
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
Stressing the significance of not missing out on important aspects of life.
One day when it's all said and done
Reflecting on life when it's complete, hoping it was fulfilling enough.
I hope you see that it was enough
Expressing a desire for a life that, in retrospect, feels sufficient.
This one ride, one try, one life to love
Summarizing life as one ride, one chance, and one opportunity to love.
She never thought she cared so much about those little hands
Realizing the significance of caring for small, meaningful details.
That held on tight the day she left 'til she was scared to death
Experiencing fear and regret after leaving a situation or relationship.
Sitting all alone on a hotel bed, the end of the road
Feeling alone at a crucial moment, acknowledging the end of a journey.
The sun has set on her big plans to feel young again
Recognizing the conclusion of plans and the passage of time.
She picks up the phone, dials a number, hears that little voice
Reaching out to a significant person to hear a comforting voice.
That's haunted every single mile since she made that choice
Dealing with the haunting consequences of a past decision.
You only get just one time around
Reiterating the uniqueness and singularity of life's journey.
You only get one shot at this
Underlining the exclusive chance everyone has in living their life.
One chance to find out
Stressing the importance of discovering essential aspects of life.
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
Highlighting the risk of missing out on crucial life experiences.
One day when it's all said and done
Reflecting on life when it's complete, hoping it was fulfilling enough.
I hope you see that it was enough
Expressing a desire for a life that, in retrospect, feels sufficient.
This one ride, one try, one life to love
Summarizing life as one ride, one chance, and one opportunity to love.
You only get just one time around
Reiterating the uniqueness and singularity of life's journey.
Only get one shot at this
Underlining the exclusive chance everyone has in living their life.
One chance to find out
Stressing the importance of discovering essential aspects of life.
The one thing that you don't wanna miss
Highlighting the risk of missing out on crucial life experiences.
One day when it's all said and done
Reflecting on life when it's complete, hoping it was fulfilling enough.
I hope you see that it was enough
Expressing a desire for a life that, in retrospect, feels sufficient.
This one ride, one try, one life
Summarizing life as one ride, one chance, and one opportunity to love.
One ride, one try, one life to love, to love
Repeating the theme of life being a unique journey with one chance to love.
