    Such a touching song. I cry every time I listen to it. I'll be 60 next year and I'm so aware of how time is passing right before my eyes. First it was watching my children grow and now my grandchildren are almost grown. I'm reminded of all the time I wasted on things that were not important in the end and I'm reminded to make the most of the time I have left with my family that means so very much to me. One of my favorite songs.

Like abandonment, abuse or humiliation that might have taken a hold of your childhood. There’s so much built up anger that is justified. Like you are not wrong for feeling that anger but he’s saying “it’s not worth it” because you only have a lifetime. So free yourself from it. ❤️

    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

      All prayers from Righteous SOULS aka Born again Christians, have power. Sinners prayers GOD hears not. Unless we REPENT and born again and LIVE HOLY, GOD hears none of our prayers. Prayers have power, but these must come from Changed hearts.
      Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.
      Psalms 119:155 “Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.”
      (Many souls(unsaved souls), believe falsely and pray in vain).
      Mankind is filled with UNSAVED SOULS (WICKED SINNERS).

      Luke 5:32
      I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
      John 3:7
      Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.

      I had purchased tickets to their concert for my daughters 16th birthday surprise party. My daughter and Billie are the same age and two weeks apart.
      Finneas had messaged me back personally and did something even better! He gave us meet and greet passes to meet Billie! It was AMAZING and seeing my daughter open her gift was tear jerking! I’ll never forget that day!
      Also got to sit in the VIP section watching the show and opening with Finneas singing sitting right next to Maggie, Billies mom! We talked the whole time and got to take a picture with Maggie!

At first,it was hard to explain why but then as I held myself to it for longer time and I discoverd that everything in it maked sense to me in my life,beaty of life,the sadness,the pain,how everything blended in my mind and I also realised that your music makes me happier and more thoughtfull. To this day it is giving me inspiration for my paintings and it is helping me to understand myself. Thank you Finneas for making with your music my life better. Love you.

When he passed travel restrictions were in place and I couldn't leave the state to attend his funeral.

    This is by far the most honest and heart-felt song I've heard in a while. FINNEAS is fresh and real and such a gift. Finneas if you are reading this, I wish to thank you for reminding me and (all of us) to not waste the time we have... well done. I cried both times I watched it. What a coincidence that I was telling my husband last night exactly what you are singing about in this song. Funny, then I bumped into you in my American Songwriter BLOG announcing this song. Your timing is perfect. I plan to share it with every friend I know (especially my music students who could really use this message right now).
