    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.

    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.”

      I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.

      He also messaged me PERSONALLY when Billie wasn’t BILLIE! I had messaged him on messenger years ago asking “how and when to show up to their concert in a venue of 200 people, where to meet Billie as she would perhaps come off her tour bus.
      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!
      2018 was a good year for Billie, but we have been fans EVEN BEFORE Billie and finneas were huge!

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.

    "I'm unprepared for my loved ones to be gone..." This line hit my heart hard. I lost my Dad a year ago and am grateful I spent every chance I had to fly out and see him whenever I could and we would talk on the phone every Wednesday. When he passed travel restrictions were in place and I couldn't leave the state to attend his funeral. I don't know how many times I've picked up my phone to call him for our "just because" calls, or his birthday, or even on holidays. I never got to say goodbye.

      I don’t know of this helps but we are adolescents from about 12-25 ish. Around this age we are transitioning into adulthood and with that comes hormonal changes which impact who we are and what we are doing. It’s often an age were we realise that we want more from our lives. It’s often an age we’re you maybe ready to go in a new direction but you’ve no idea what that direction is. But can I say that there is a part of you that knows where you’re heading (some may call this your soul or spirit). But it can feel scary at first to follow a path unknown. The brilliance of not knowing where you are going is that you may be open to completely different opportunities in your life. You’re not lost, you just aren’t sure of your new path, but this universe will show you that path at some point in the future. To help you get there you can train your brain to think differently, to believe in yourself to be able to be you. This process does mean learning to process your emotions as they are gauges to tell you that something is right for you or something that you won’t like. Most importantly making friends with ourselves helps a lot as many of us beat ourselves up, we bully and are mean to ourselves. We don’t deserve to do that to ourselves. We deserve a life free of guilting & blaming ourselves. Get to know the new you, im sure he’s turning into a fine man

    This is just Wonderful.... It's an amazing song and we all can agree, finneas's never lets us down.
    He deserves more attention, it's really nice to see that he actually wrote this abt his family, the whole album infact is very selfless, and that's just very sweet. I hope this song is still gonna be heard years and years later, and we're all gonna make that happen for him. He deserves it.

    Oh, that lyrics with that music makes this song one of the most heart warming and healing songs ever.

    For someone so young, you have been able to touch the heart of this 65-year-old boomer ;) This song is so spot on for me and so true in all aspects, especially family. Nicely done, Finneas, once again ♥

    One of the most beautifully profound songs I’ve heard in my 69 years on earth.

    This song means so much to me. I spent most of my early teenage years always being angry with my mom and just counting down the days until I could move out. Looking back I wish I appreciated her more and didn’t miss out on so many memories. We have a great relationship now and this song gave me the healing that I needed. Thank you!!!

    I just love the fact that his videos are simple but the lyrics of his songs bring to life everything around him. It's beautiful, I think he is one of the best artist of this generation.
