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
On anything but anyone you love
Was this the life
That you were dreaming of
A movie night
A yellow light
You’re slowin’ 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 preachin’ pain
In the sake of some small game
In the sake of someone’s name
I’m unprepared for
My loved ones to be gone
I 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
You’re stayin’ up too late at night
And laughin’ 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
