Background

edit

He told Billboard that when he was in his 20s, he "simultaneously thought that I was going to live forever and I wasn't going to make it past 25".

"One Less Day" was prompted by the realization that, at 47, he "was already too old to die young".[2]

Music

edit

The song is about getting older and is an ode to life. He sees every day he lives as a privilege.[2]

I'm not afraid of getting older

I'm one less day from dying young I see the light go past my shoulder

I'm one less day from dying young
