Mostly used as the acronym YOLO, it is said when pushing the limits, doing something dangerous or different from what you normally do.
man 1: I am not sure that skydiving was a good idea...
man 2: Come on man! You only live once!

You only you only live once once. A common mistake made by people who are being a bit stupid, usually in a stressful or worried situation, causing people to forget what they were saying.
*skydiving*

Get the You only YOLO once mug.
YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE SO GO FUCKING NUTS!
Push your care, push your burdens aside
Erase everything inside and leave just one thing on your mind.
You only live once so just go fucking nuts! (Go!)
Live life hard
Live life hard
You only get one shot
So shoot!
With every breath you take you're dying
With every step we take we're falling apart
If we only had one chance we'd breathe
Let's take the chance right now and scream
You only live one life
For a very short time
So make every second divine
Go!
Live life hard
Live life hard
Are you still breathing?
It's your heart that's beating inside
That keeps us alive
And for the very first time
We're pushing aside (to surrender)
Everything that I see in my eyes
Except for the one thing on my mind
That I am alive
For the very first time!
