Only A Lifetime

How do you know If you've done everything right? Is it the love you have at hand Or the cash you kiss at night? How do you know If it was worth it in the end? Did every second really count Or were there some you shouldn't spend On anything but anyone you love? Was this the life that you were dreaming of? A movie night, a yellow light You're slowing down and days are adding up So don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love So don't waste it I'm unimpressed By the people preaching pain For the sake of some small gain In the sake of someone's name I'm unprepared For my loved ones to be gone Call 'em way too often now Worry way too much about mom Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's only a while It's not worth the anger you felt as a child Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love So don't waste it It's family and friends, and that's the truth The fountain doesn't give you back your youth It's staying up too late at night and laughing under kitchen lights So hard you start to cry Don't waste the time you have waiting for time to pass It's only a lifetime That's not long enough You're not gonna like it without any love So don't waste it --- Only A Lifetime - FINNEAS
