Lyrics of Only a Lifetime by Finneas
verse
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 should've spent?
pre-chorus
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
chorus
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
verse
I'm unimpressed
By the people preaching pain
For the sake of some small game
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
chorus
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
outro
It's family and friends, and that's the truth
The fountain doesn't give you back your youth
You're 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
Writer(s): Finneas O Connell
