Sleep Signals Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never run cuz I love the fight
There's no compromise
At your lowest, lost and broken
You feel it in slow-motion
Fight or flight, ride or die
The battle never ends
I'll fight until the end
You're gonna get knocked down but you can get up again
You only get one chance, one try, one fight to win
You better hold onto it cuz this one is all you get
One life
I'm done
Gotta stop this back and forth
Gotta beat the clock, it's time
Cuz it's my time to shine
It's that moment your heart starts pumping
Your mind is sharp and focused
The fire is lit, I won't quit
The battle never ends
I'll fight until the end
You only get one life, one time, one war to win
You're gonna get knocked down but you can get up again
You only get one chance, one try, one fight to win
You better hold onto it cuz this one is all you get
One life
This fight never ends
Take the losses with the wins
Some leave scars and some won't mend
But I'm healing
This fight never ends
Take the losses with the wins
Some leave scars and some won't mend
But I'm healing, I'm healing
You only get one life, one time, one war to win
You're gonna get knocked down but you can get up again
You only get one chance, one try, one fight to win
You better hold onto it cuz this one is all you get
One life
You only get one life
You only get one chance, one try, one fight to win
You better hold onto it cuz this one is all you get
One life
