Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, for once in my
Oh, for once in my life
Could just something go
Could just something go right?
[Verse 2]
Oh, for once in my
Oh, for once in my life
Could just something go
Could just something go right?
[Verse 3]
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
All my life
My life
[Verse 4]
Oh, for once in my
Oh, for once in my life
Could just something go
Could just something go right?
[Verse 5]
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
All my life
My life
All my life
All my life
[Verse 6]
I've been waiting all my life
I've been waiting all my life
[Verse 7]
All my life（Oh, for once in my）
My life (Oh, for once in my life)
All my life (Oh, for once in my)
All my life (Oh, for once in my life)
My life (Oh, for once in my)
All my life (Oh, for once in my life)
All my life
All my life
[Verse 8]
Oh, for once in my
Oh, for once in my life
[Verse 9]
I couldn't wait for all life
I  could't wait
I never fall down
Never fall down
Never fall down
