[Verse 1]
The colours in the sky
make me wish my life
was as beautiful
as the sunset
I stand in the hush
with my hands full of dust
watching gold turn to sleep
too fast
[Pre-Chorus]
We get one life
that goes by like lightning
I keep blinking
and it’s gone
So I hold each second
like a glass in my palm
but it’s slipping
slipping on
[Chorus]
One life, one sunset
don’t let it pass me by
One life, one sunset
I want to live this sky
I have so much here
with so little time
One life, one sunset
so I keep my eyes on the line
[Verse 2]
There are names in my phone
I keep meaning to call
there are dreams on the floor
by the bed
There are letters unsent
and a road in my head
and a laugh I still hear
when you said
[Pre-Chorus]
We get one life
that goes by like lightning
I keep reaching
for the flame
If I’m brave for a minute
maybe I’ll say your name
before it fades
before it fades
[Chorus]
One life, one sunset
don’t let it pass me by
One life, one sunset
I want to live this sky
I have so much here
with so little time
One life, one sunset
so I keep my eyes on the line
[Bridge]
If the world burns slow
I’ll still choose the bright
If my heart runs thin
I’ll spend it right
On the touch of a hand
on the truth in my chest
on the chance to say
I loved what was left
[Chorus]
One life, one sunset
don’t let it pass me by
One life, one sunset
I want to live this sky
I have so much here
with so little time
One life, one sunset
so I keep my eyes on the line
[Outro]
The colours in the sky
make me wish my life
was as beautiful
as the sunset (sunset)
