Good Life
♫ One Republic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Found myself in the city near Piccadilly
Don't really know how I got here
I got some pictures on my phone
New names and numbers that I don't know
Address to places like Abbey Road
Day turns to night, night turns to whatever we want
We're young enough to say
Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
From Paris to China to Colorado
Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We all got our stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about
When you're happy like a fool
Let it take you over
When everything is out
You gotta take it in
Oh, this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
A good, good life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Hopelessly
I feel like like there might be something that I'll miss
Hopelessly
I feel like the window closes oh so quick
Hopelessly
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
'Cause hopelessly
The hope is we have so much to feel good about
Oh this has gotta be the good life
This has gotta be the good life
This could really be a good life, good life
Say oh, got this feeling that you can't fight
Like this city is on fire tonight
This could really be a good life
A good, good life
Oh, oh oh, oh yeah, a good, good life, good life
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, whoa, listen
To my friends in New York, I say hello
My friends in L.A. they don't know
Where I've been for the past few years or so
Paris to China to Colorado
Sometimes there's airplanes I can't jump out
Sometimes there's bullshit that don't work now
We all got our stories but please tell me
What there is to complain about
The song "Good Life" by OneRepublic is an uplifting and motivational anthem about enjoying life and all its experiences. The lyrics describe the story of a person who wakes up in London, a city they don't know how they got to, and explores the city with new acquaintances. The song seems to suggest that the singer has been feeling a sense of wanderlust, having traveled to various places such as Paris, China, and Colorado, and is now feeling a sense of satisfaction with their life.
The chorus repeats the phrase "This could really be a good life" several times, emphasizing the idea that the present moment is worth living and enjoying. The lyrics also acknowledge that life is not always perfect, that there are "airplanes I can't jump out" and "bullshit that don't work now," but the song encourages the listener to focus on the positive and to "let it take you over" when happiness arrives.
Overall, "Good Life" is a celebration of life and all its ups and downs, encouraging the listener to live in the moment and enjoy it to the fullest.

Hopelessly
Even though I'm aware, I can't help but feel
I feel like like there might be something that I'll miss
I believe that there's something I could miss out on

I feel like opportunities to experience certain things could quickly pass me by
I'm taking a mental picture of you now
I'm trying to remember this moment and you as best I can
The hope is we have so much to feel good about
We have multiple reasons to feel good about life

lyrics:
I'm holdin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.
And I'm hearin' what you say,
But I just can't make a sound.
You tell me that you need me,
Then you go and cut me down.
But wait.
You tell me that you're sorry,
Didn't think I'd turn around.
And say.
That it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Too late, oh uh
I'd take another chance,
Take a fall, take a shot for you.
I need you like a heart needs a beat,
But it's nothin' new, yeah!
I loved you with a fire red,
Now it's turnin' blue.
And you say.
Sorry, like an angel
Heaven let me think was you.
But I'm afraid.
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
Whoa!
It's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize.
It's too late.
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah!
I said it's too late to apologize, yeah!
I'm holdin' on your rope,
Got me ten feet off the ground.

I'm holding on your rope
Got me ten feet off the ground
And I'm hearing what you say, but I just can't make a sound
You tell me that you need me
Then you go and cut me down, but wait
You tell me that you're sorry
Didn't think I'd turn around, and say
That it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late
I'd take another chance, take a fall
Take a shot for you
And I need you like a heart needs a beat
But it's nothing new, yeah, yeah
I loved you with a fire red
Now it's turning blue, and you say
Sorry like the angel heaven let me think was you
But I'm afraid
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
I said it's too late to apologize, it's too late, whoa
It's too late to apologize, it's too late
