Letra Only a lifetime Finneas

Only a lifetime

Mmm

How do you know if you've done anything right?
Is it the love you have in hand
Or the cash you kiss goodnight?
How do you know if it was worth it in the end?
Did every second really count?
Or were there some you should've spent
On anything but anyone you love?
Was this the life that you were dreamin' of?
A Sunday night, at yellow lights
You're slowin' down and days are adding up

So don't waste the time you have
Waiting on 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
And you're not gonna like it without any love so don't waste it

I'm unimpressed by the people preachin' pain
In the sake of some small game
In the sake of someone's name
And I'm unprepared for my loved ones to be gone
I call them way too often now
I worry way too much about Mom

And 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
And 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 bring you back your youth
You're stayin' up too late at night and laughin' under kitchen lights
So hard, you might just start to cry

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
And you're not gonna like it without any love so don't waste it
