Lyrics
Once In A Lifetime – Griffiths-Moore/Baker
Verse 1
Wasting our time on the same conversations
I’ve told you before and I’ll tell you again
There’s no use in sitting around and complaining
You’ve gotta reach out if you wanna get help
Pre chorus
If you feel like you’re failing you’ve not seen it out till the end
Chorus
Give us a second to bring it around
Give us a minute to figure it out
Give us a moment coz time’s running out
It’s once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
Give it your best shot and see how it goes
Give it your all now coz you never know
Don’t give up now coz you’re getting so close
It’s once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
Verse 2
No point in crying over lost situations
No point in living a life of regret
You can’t change the past now matter how much you want it
Sometimes I know that it’s hard to accept
Verse 1

Chorus
Give us a second to bring it around
Give us a minute to figure it out
Give us a moment coz time’s running out
It’s once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime
Give it your best shot and see how it goes
Give it your all now coz you never know
Don’t give up now coz you’re getting so close
It’s once in a lifetime, once in a lifetime

No point in crying over lost situations
No point in living a life of regret
You can’t change the past now matter how much you want it
Sometimes I know that it’s hard to accept
