"Look, if you had one shot  or one opportunity To seize everything you ever wanted in one moment Would you capture it ...or just let it slip? "You better lose yourself in the music,  the moment You own it, you better never let it go You only get one shot do not miss  your chance to blow This opportunity comes once  in a lifetime yo" Oh the time goes so fast.

And I also think it is cool Dido agreed to be in the video for this one too, even though she was not thrilled about getting tied up and her mouth duct-taped.   Have a great Tuesday and week!
