Only A Lifetime

How do you know if you've done everything right?
Is it the love you have at hand?
Or the cast 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 should've spent?
On anything, but anyone you love
Is this the life that you were dreaming of?
On movie night, the yellow lights,
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 one's to be gone
Call them 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
But 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
